Huh? People "should" tell Chris about something he doesn't believe in? I
think you should cast about just a little bit longer, Peter.

If I weren't in such a good mood, I'd make a nasty parallel between BO and
religion, but I won't. I will say that BO is a concrete, *physical* thing,
a result of a chemical reaction in the body. BO is provable, religion is
not.

        it involves L. Ron Hubbard - as long as she keeps making music)
