[Ads-l] Antedating "spirit", verb and noun, = "abduct(or)" [incl. "spiriting", verbal noun]

[Joel Berson]

Did everyone receive this from me as one gigantic block, without paragraph separation?  I wonder if it happened because I cut and pasted a Word document into Yahoo email, which then ignored my blank lines between paragraphs.  If most received it poorly, I'll try to fix and resend it.
