They are authorised - that means, authorised to be used in Churches
(under the established Anglican Church of that time, that is). But
services didn't need the apocrypha, so it often got omitted for reasons
of expense.

No, but her knowledge of it has no bearing unless by some coincidence
she happened to know something about the Anglican system under the
established Church of England in that time and place. That system
specifically removes the Roman Catholic hierarchy from any official
position. All that "bishop of Rome" stuff.

The two main sites I got information from are:-
- http://www.faqs.org/faqs/internet-services/access-via-email/
- http://riot.eu.org/anon/doc/nym.html
I still haven't figured it out completely, particularly how to make
posts follow on. Mostly I just lurk, and google groups is good enough
for that so I haven't used this to read postings. When I do need to
reply I more often use an old netscape navigator under windows 3.1.
Just at the moment I can't do that since my ISP upgraded and until
they tell me all the configuration changes I need I'm locked out of
their news server. PML.
GST+NPT=JOBS
I.e., a Goods and Services Tax (or almost any other broad based production
tax),
with a Negative Payroll Tax, promotes employment.
See http://member.netlink.com.au/~peterl/publicns.html#AFRLET2 and the other
items on that page for some reasons why.
