   You appear to be afraid of being omniscient, however I   
   do not know if I will make any note of it on usenet.   
      
   I do not care if you are omniscient or not.  I am   
   thinking that if you are an omniscient being, but   
   are either lying or never explain yourself, then   
   your omniscience is useless to me?  I am not sure.

   I was aware that I posted this twice earlier, and I do not   
   know if there is something wrong with some part of usenet   
   that makes it unable to post unless you post twice.  Should   
   I care?  Maybe or maybe not.
