Continuing my earlier question about why God would send angels rather than putting in a personal appearance: in Exodus 30 God informs Moses that "Thou canst not see my face: for man shall not see me, and live." Putting aside that they are conversing "face to face" (the rest of the chapter makes it clear that Moses cannot literally see God's face), this confirms the face-melting suspicion, but doesn't answer why God sends a messenger rather than just turning up in a hat two sizes too large.

Not really - I'm trying to answer a question within theology ("Why angels?"), if you see what I mean. :-) It's not a satirical or rhetorical question, either - theology is genuinely intriguing.
