An astounding 1854 people responded in '03, and their recommendations were so impressive that I have expanded the list to 75 tools!

In fact, one of our euphemisms for our lonely mongod is 'the Absolute.' Ironically, perhaps, that happens to be an appropriate tittle.God is absolute. Absolute mystery. Absolute ambiguity.
