I'm told that my place in hell has been reserved pending my eventual
demise. Haggling over my fee schedule and wages of sin are unlikely
to change the situation. Besides my attempt to save an important web
site from archival ossification, what is it that you find in my
actions that you consider worthy of eternal damnation?

Nothing so cruel as eternal damnation. This is an example of two peoples divided by their common language. "Another place", over here, is a synonym for "Heaven". So, on the contrary, rather than eternal thermal overload, I was offering you eternal boredom or, rather, Boris was. -- AJ

I understood it to mean either (or both in the Schrodinger
sense) since mortals cannot know which.

I'm a Calvinist. We believe in pre-destination, which pretty much guarantees one's place in Heaven or Hell at birth; you can't get into Heaven by good deeds but a moral life demonstrates (probably) that you are one of the elect. --- AJ

Calvin, Schrodinger, whatever.
You still don't actually know that.

An old roue lay dying. The doctor rose from examining him and shook his head.. The priest bent over to whisper into his ear: "With your last breath, will you denounce the Devil and all his works?" The dying old man opened one eye and said, "Now is not the time to make new enemies." -- Old French joke -- AJ
