Dear Niel:

I am looking at the floods near Sacramento from high ground.  Your above
comment seems to imply that you advocate letting nature do its thing
approach. Is that a correct assumption?

Since I am on high ground perhaps you should explain the F.O.R. approach
to someone who is living in a flooded house.  That would be a real test
to see if F.O.R. theories are in touch with reality.  Let all of us know
about your flooded converts.
