To tell you the truth? I don't think that I can really judge whether or not I would have wanted to. Right now, it would be nice to be able to actually argue with religious people, without having to cop out due to lack of knowledge. And it is a basic part of Jewish culture, after all.

About time you did. I am an odd person. Even by Technion standards, I'd wager.

Just an observation. It is for others to decide whether it is flattering or not to be considered odd.
