Huh? I didn't feel very graceful... (I mean, thanks:))

Points, points, who's got the points? Say, Peter, I am currently a
substitute teacher, and have access to a variety of grade books, so...here
you go: here's 5, no, make it 10 points. This will bring your average for
the semester _way_ up there. :)

Though Melisa is starting to suspect otherwise, I _can_ ignore these guys.
Bump them if they are against the "charter" (that's your job I guess), but
don't on my account. The more they post, the more people can see what they
are all about (or not!). People are posting more, coming out of the
woodwork a little bit. Whatever their etiquette shortcomings, one must
admit that the stew has been stirred. Anything that gets Ombodhi's heart
pitter-pattering can't be all bad :) Further, I'd bet they speak for a
segment of veg-rawers. I'm especially curious if Rene and Ric are squirming
at all, or if they support such rhetoric (and the dropping of their names
in such a manner). I miss their POV.

Besides, NFL may consider it a feather in their cap (they're just _too_
straight-up and hard-hitting for the fools in veg-raw, etc. etc.) or
perhaps even some martyr-type stuff.

On the other hand, anyone who refuses to sign a post belongs on the
alt.knob newsgroup, not here. Go figgur, eh?

Cheers,
Kirt
