THE BODS TREADING A SIMILAR PATH

The following:
1:  DO NOT necessarily hold full view with ODA.
Indeed, many hold views on aspects various that are contrary to ODA, however they do have a significant number of commonly held perspectives on aspects various to thought warrant inclusion here.
Without their influences, ODA would not smell as sweet as it does.
2:  Are readily available tontinterweb and well worth a coat of looking-at.
(ie Are ‘pro & public’)
