    Dear Group,

    I would like to invite you to experience a bold new theory my brother and I, researchers in Semitic Linguistics, have recently published on the meaning of the Ancient Hebrew name for God "El Shaddai." The name has variously been suggested to mean "God Omnipotent", "God of the Mountains," even God of the Breasts." The new theory is exquisitely researched using a fascinating comparison of Semitic languages to arrive at the daring new theory. The theory is published online at

    We welcome comment and critique for the theory,

    Much thanks, Kevin
