Hi Bernd and all,
        I cannot help but be continually amazed that
people choose to leave the list rather than learn to
use their DELETE button..... I just don't get it. When
one of these ridiculous rant exchanges occur, there
are TWO dead giveaways:
1) the SENDER posting to the list at that time
2) the wording in the SUBJECT box
        Therefore, there HAS to be some sort of motivation
to read these posts on the part of the person objecting
to them! IF YOU DON'T LIKE READING SUCH POSTS,
DON'T OPEN THE POSTS!
        I have heard every possible objection to these posts,
and almost every objection has merit. What does NOT have
merit, given that READING THEM IS OPTIONAL, is why
anyone would subject themselves to them - then leave in
a self righteous huff - after they, themselves, had exposed
themselves by reading them! It's not like a flasher jumped
out from the bushes unannounced! The damned posts have
"WARNING!" stamped all over them from the sender and
subject!
        Its as though people at a party hear there is rotten food
at the end of the smorgasbord table, and they go down to the
end, fill their plate with the rotten food and eat it, and then
get all outraged, and declare they are leaving the party because
they were fed rotten food!
        I DON'T GET IT.
        There is a lot of food at this party, why eat the bad food
and then leave in protest???
        Sure, one is exposed the first post or two, but then, by
sender and subject, one can simply bypass those posts until
the garbage storm passes.
        Best wishes to all, Michael

I used to eat a lot of natural foods until I learned
that most people die of natural causes.
