JTS: I should have qualified one statement. I "approve" of the hunt on the facts as I currently believe them to be. But good facts are hard to come by. My opinion doesn't count for squat, except as a newspaper reader where you have a worldwide PR campaign going on against you. If, as they would have us believe, about half of the animals are maimed and left to die slowly, then YOU need to be concerned about, and addressing that. Ditto on the allegations of animals skinned alive and conscious. (They don't even do that in a slaughterhouse.)

That said, of course it was a miscommunication to Carol, caused by the near absence of clubbing in Newfoundland. Maybe I shouldn't have taken advantage of that. I realize this issue is far more significant to your family than the lumber futures market is to mine.

Be well.
