By the way, I'm getting flooded with email from all around the world with people requesting acknowledgment of their godless community. I'm trying to spread them out — if I put up a solid wall of "X has atheists!" posts, the effect will be diluted and people won't actually visit your site — and I'm also getting an awful lot of them that are getting lost in the deluge. If you sent me a notice, give it a few days, and if it still doesn't appear, send me another email…I'll get to it eventually.
