It's true that Jan is rather disgusted--but not surprised-- with how the thread has gotten off track.   The blind alley distraction about whether she and I are the same was particularly absurd. But considering the source of the proposed conspiracy, not surprising.

Main point she had of course is not one Mudcatters like to hear--that we should not be wasting so much time doing anything on Mudcat BS, but rather contacting politicians to try to influence them to solve some of the problems. On this thread she was particularly concerned about whales--and would be disappointed if Mudcatters are not taking steps to try to stop whaling--esp. Japanese whaling in the 'whale sanctuary"--at least by signing Greenpeace etc. petitions..

Instead of what we virtually always wind up doing--arguing with each other--and of course convincing nobody of anything.
