For being intelligent, thinking, folks.  I can't tell you how much I
appreciate the fact that there's generally evidence of at least an attempt
to research things and think them through, even in the most heated debates.

It only takes a day like today, when I witness a variety of stupid
questions and "please give me all the answers so I don't have to bother to
figure things out for myself (or look them up in a book I've claimed to
have read)" posts and snarky responses--that are dead wrong!--based
entirely on urban legend or error-by-tradition...

Anyway, I am truly grateful to you all for being... yourselves.

who's off to attempt to explain that corn doesn't start out as a vegetable
and then become a grain when it is dried...
