garbage in = garbage out? <b g>

My point was not that the exact same thing came out...  small, compact, and
not smelly to me means there's not much left even for the bacteria to munch
on...  less compact and smelly means it wasn't thoroughly
digested/aborbed/whatever before it returned to the earth whence it came :)
 The slower part means, given the, output, that it was there *too* long...

Anyway, it was just an observation that made me think when I first noticed
the difference.
