I promised myself to choke the roots of all botulism plantings (postings) after Cameron and others warned me that even though the number of cases involving food is negligible, this list can go on for months with the botch threads. I didn't listen and behold, there are more list members who have strangled themselves rather than read another post on it than total deaths from the illness. Hence, I sing the botulism song every time the needle finds that thread: Botch-u-lee, botch-u-la, botch-u-la Botch-u-la-la-la-la-la-la, etc. ad nauseum Gareth
