Robert Rice was spouting off to Gord Dowling 
 about chemistry 
 when he said ...
 RR> Retoric...!?!?!?!?....Thats funny....Hmmm....Well let's ask those of
 RR> us who have been collecting overseas for astart ...I believe Sam
 RR> Mcdaniel has on several occassions ..I have once the numbers I gave
 RR> were probably lighter than what I saw ...As for book documentation
 RR> there are very few books out there about collecting at all ..There was
 RR> a nice documentary on the rainforest a few years back that showed some
 RR> natives collecting neons......Any how if you will drop your bogus
 RR> flameing language i will be glad to see if i can find some
 RR> documents...Claiming I am full of retoric does nothing to endear you
 RR> to me ....
        It was not my intention to flame you. What I was trying to point out
 was that your messages have been long on emotion and short on substantive
 proof. I was asking for referances. If you have the numbers to put into
 your message, you should be able to tell us were you got them from.
        Your overall message of environmental reponsibility is important. I
 lived next to a logging camp in the rainforests of Vancouver Island. I've
 seen the destruction caused by bad cutting practices and the pollution
 left by backrupt fishery plants. 
        Your message stated numbers implying that they were recent. Quotes
 from a documentary that you saw three years ago and observances from
 Dr. Axelrod's books which may have been published in the late fifties do not
 aid your message.
... Say what you mean... Mean what you say.
