I really hope you don't mind, but I metafiltered the original post on your respectfulofotters page. Considering how many upset lj and blog entries I've seen over this issue during the last few days, I think it's worth spreading your excellent research far and wide.
Heck, I'd scream it from the rooftops if I thought I could get more people to read it. :)
Thanks. Now please help me sit on my hands so I don't get myself a metafilter login and start answering every single comment that impugns my motives or says something incorrect.
I've now addressed some of the metafilter people's concerns here (http://respectfulofotters.blogspot.com/2004_12_01_respectfulofotters_archive.html#110216915212319531), in case you're interested.
Wow!

See, that wasn't so bad.
Excellent research and writing, Dr. R.
