Being a few years back as you say, whatever became of Rebecca Bright?

That is a good statement. Often times "science" gets used as a substitute for
"this is the truth, and
that's all there's to it" as an answer to a doubter.

The last part was very funny. Is that what is known as a back-handed
compliment?  :D

Mike Rowe has a way with words. The response seemed very good.  
I don't think I would have the patience to produce a reply at  
that length and detail.

BTW..  I posted this originally with Aftershock via my Pixel  
point with Tommi's system, but it didn't seem to get posted (or  
re-posted) when his system wasn't responding during a nightly  
mail hour or something.

So.. I'm posting it via OpenXP now.
