Yes, we are missing the point: I didn't say that there is nothing else than
robots and cabala, never said that. Infact the major aspect I propose to a
person who doesn't know Eva is the psicological view that this work offers.
It was my fault, I couldn't be so exaustive in my writings. Only that we
were talking about angels in the beginning of this discussion.

 If you disagree, please let me know why.

Well, I have read again what that site talk about, and I must agree with
you. That initial paragraph is totally wrong.
As I would like to bring more relaxing pace in our emails, can u explain me
what ROTFL means?
thanks
