Ice Cold: Involuntary by the designer's grand design (one thing to either take

for granted or give thanks for today). Free will/self determination uninvolved

Let's make a public gentlemen's agreement, Sir Tim. I'll be happy to quit posting

to this thread as soon as your next new thread pushes it to page two. Fair deal?

Are we wrong in assuming that the profession/practice you have in mind applies only to humans,
and not to serpents, deities, spirits or other supernatural agents?

In a sense you note one of the consequences... but still no cigar.

Incisive and thoughtful question, Andy. Answer, by definition, is that the focus

of our enjoyable chat includes both the angelic and human orders of creation.

Any particular angel, or just angels in general?

I enjoyed this post and believe it added value to the Chess At Work
forums, so I wish to bring it to the attention of others by recommending
it.

Animal husbandry and orchardman come to mind.

But in order for it to be a profession, doesn't a monetary system have to be in place?
