- My response to the mail I received bounced so I'll post it.
-
- I've just been informed that due to an error in the name of the pigeons in my
- example and the fact that phenylketonuria might not always be intolerable,
- that my examples are now moot. Please make a note of it.

- *> You might want to post a bit slower: substitute passenger pigeon for carrier
- *> pigeon; then read a little history on the passenger pigeon (it was a very
- *> serious pest, and there were probably as many people who wanted it extinct
- *> as didn't. This may not look very admirable today, but it's something different
- *> from lack of foresight).
- *>
- *> Phenylketonurics become tolerant of phenylalanine at a certain age (exact age
- *> being argued over, but roughly puberty).
- *>
- *> Bad examples make an argument look bad.

-
