Ok, people, let's take BIG's challenge to take some higher ground here over a very important issue. Whatever the reasons some desire to make this personal, I DON'T CARE WHAT IS SAID, JUST IGNORE THEM ENTIRELY or email them privately if you feel the need to vent. I do not want this topic trashed by maladaptive behavior. To help make this clear, I will temporarily refrain from even friendly and witty jibes or comments, good natured or not, period. So fire away, but do not be surprised if I ignore you. This argument concerning the 100s of 1,000 of ferrets needs to be heard. My rapier wit will just have to take a back seat<G>. best wishes, until next time, alphachi PS Look for some breaking info on this matter shortly forthcoming. [Posted in FML issue 2232]
