well shaw and gnome lets have some of your counter arguments with the scientific evidence to support it. Chapter and verse if you don't mind. Interesting how you twist the argument.
   Now I wonder how far I would have to dig in the 30000 +posts you have jointly generated to find identical behaviour.

Nowhere does anyone state the procedure is painless.
