"It's a tiny word Ron, but one that you felt the need to remove from the quote. I wonder why? Could it be that by leaving it in you couldn't qualify your statement?"

I know you won't believe me, but the honest truth is that I failed to see that I missed the word when I copied and paste.   The other part is, even if you leave the word in, it still doesn't change the fact that you were putting words in my mouth. Your use of the word "if" in that sentence comes across as an assumption, not a supposition. YOU are the one who appears to have run out of steam because you have not been able to put together a logical argument, and now you jump on a simple typo as a way of justifying your position.

It still remains that the problem of "scent free" is an important issue that deserves attention. You try to downplay it and bring up an issue of gas consumption - an important problem of course, but not one that should cancel out other fights.   Finding a cure for AIDS is important, does that mean we should stop trying to fight cancer and devote our energy there? I should hope not.

Please, read a few of the links that have been posted elsewhere. I know this seems like a joke to many people, but there is some serious research and serious health issues at risk.   Let's not get tied up in word games and silly arguements.
