Thanks Brian. Perhaps you're right about trying to explain things
like this to cranks, but I still wish you had left the newsgroups
intact so Pearl could have read this. ;-)

I've restored alt.animals.ethics.vegetarian so that she can at least
read this reply and maybe gain some knowledge from your post.

As Davoud says, you fool! :-o

I did that because the odds are at least a hundred to one that Pearl
learns nothing, absolutely nothing from my post, and because I want to
limit "crank case leaking" between newsgroups. Now, of course, you've
foiled my carefully crafted plan.
