Thanks for saying so.  It's nice not to be the only one who objects to
being considered a pitiful neurotic just because my sympathies extend
beyond my own species.
I do agree with Stefan that this is a problem not just for veg.'s but for
anybody whose ethical standards are more stringent than the majority's.
