Joseph,
     In my above quoted last remarks I want to let you know that I moved
away from you specifically to a broad brush that becomes an editorial
"you".  While I stand by every sentiment expressed above, I do not, and did
not mean to say that you _specifically_ are that low in the pool of
humanity - at least I sure hope you are not.   But there are those who are
quite radical and violent and they have the exact same view that you
expressed re killing butterflies.  These need to be excommunicated till
they change their ways.  There is a big difference between being a
non-collector and an anti-collector.   Email is not the best communicative
vehicle there is.  None of us know you at all - or if you are even real
"Sugar".
Ron

PS   When any of us send posts like yours or mine to listserves we put big
red and white bulls eyes on ourselves.  So don't dish it our if you are not
prepared to take it.   Stick around.
