Steve, don't get upset.

I found out that there are some people that I cannot have a meaningful
conversationwith.  We just do not use the same logic so every discussion
becomes an excercise in futility.  I now tend to avoid debates with such
people (I mean, what's the point?  I cannot convince them, they cannot
convice me and the audience just gets annoyed) so I usually filter them
out from my mailbox and everybody is happier.

Probably because pure Ca is not found in nature, therefore the calcium
in milk is a compound, which may be different from the compounds in
other sources.
