Says the hypocrite formerly known as Watcher.

Or are you really Poop Jizz (pop quiz) in drag?

Hmmm.... I'm leaning towards the funditard known as Watcher, who spamms up ALL the threads with his spume....

Should we add Kathless, the god of the Klingons?
Are not Klingons people, too, in their own humble way?
Hmmmm.

Yes, she is goddess, no other qualification needed. Are we limited to the gods of humans.
Seriously if my dog could talk she would tell you that the only god is kitchen god!
The cat is a whole nother story, he is atheist, he bows to no one he sees no being as greater than himself. He couldn't care less what you believe, just as long as you keep it off of his porch.

There is now plenty of scientific evidence for the reality of life after death.

I can point you to scientific studies conducted by doctors Elizabeth Kubler-Ross "On Life After Death", Michael Sabom "Light and Death", Jeffrey Long "Evidence of the Afterlife", Raymond Moody Jr "The Death and Afterlife Book", Ian Stevenson, Carl Jung, and many many more.

Face it. The atheist philosophy is a dead materialist philosophy that is being debunked daily by scientists who now realize that everything is composed of energy.

By scientists who 'now ' realize? That's been known for a long, long time. If you didn't know it long before now, you should sue the school that gave you a diploma.

There is no proof of 'life' after death, other than the energy created by the decaying of bodies.

Oh, and there is no 'atheist philosophy'. Please stop with the tired old platitudeds derived from a religious point of view.

If there is an atheist philosophy, no atheist has ever been aware of it. It seems to have been conceived and dwells still only in the minds of the delusional.

Oooooh! I am, I am-- too many to insert manually, I'll have to use the old spreadsheet again.

Simple enough.... first to capture the text, then replace the commas with carriage-return/line-feeds.

Next paste that into the end of the spreadsheet's column, then click "SORT"....

...(yes, that's how I did it before...)

Excel text import wizard for the win...

Paste special; as text; use text import wizard; delimited, by comma (not space)...

Copy the new row; in a new row or sheet... paste special, transposed... tada - vertical.

Sort!

I'm sure there's a similar method.

There probabily is-- but years of coming up through DOS, and easy familiarity with 'white-space' characters, and the possession of a superior notepad program (NoteTab Pro-- been using it for years, now, paid app), means I can get it done with a few short global replacement steps.

The conversion from linear to vertical was done by replacing [space]-[comma] with [carriage-return]-[line-feed] characters, in one step.

Then, simple copy-paste directly into the spreadsheet's column, and DATA-->SORT as you indicated in your post.

Save as comma-delimited ASCII to keep the file small, and to remove most of the tags/header/formatting.

I'm left with a very simple text file, with one name per line, and perhaps a few extra blank lines at the end.

For one or three or five names? I simply manually insert those in sort-order-- again, years and years of filing/sorting makes that akin to breathing for me.

But more than a smattering? Open the file in the spreadsheet, and paste the new names at the bottom (after formatting as above, if needed), and re-sort, re-save CSV file.

:)

Less than 2 minutes front-to-back, and I didn't need to learn anything new...

... not that learning new things is bad--it's not.

But at my age, I have a limited capacity for 'new' and I like to reserve that for really interesting stuff, like new planets in the Universe, or how the new LiIon rechargeable battery's work, or what is the **real** difference between the engineering philosophies behind Chevy's Volt and Nissan's Leaf?

:D
