I knew it was from the Bible, just got the quote wrong.<br>I think my email was held up by the spam filter too, so that's why James beat me.<br>Cookie's all round I say :-) I do need to go to Costco so maybe I will go just before the March meeting and get some cookies while I am there. If poeple are good I will share ;-)

It seems my previous post fell foul of a spam filter that does not allow<br>certain offensive words ... and I'm not even looking for a cookie! Let<br>me try again: the original reference is from the beginning of the gospel
<br>of John: "In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with G** and<br>the Word was G**." I am not sure if there was a deliberate allusion to<br>the infamous product in the title you quote but it may be so.
<br>Best wishes<br>Philippe<br>I hope that doesn't offend the spam filter - you can email me privately<br>if you can't guess the "offensive" word. Ah the times we live in - when<br>He's filtered out and so much else glides through.
