  Geeeesh, who cares ?

  If you know what the other person is referring to, then it really doesn't

 anymore, we read; journals, books, Usenet articles, email, ....      :-)

   You say two-ma-toe, I say toe-mae-toe, ............. Let's call the whole
 thing off.

Earth is a complex array of symbiotic relationships: Every extinction, whether
 animal, mineral, vegetable, or cultural hastens our own demise.
