It is amazing to me that someone I've never seen post on roff before can

. . . well, except for the "it's not bull****" part.



Whoa, there Tim! Its crossposted to rec.boats.paddle (another newsgroup I
frequent, as well as some other roffians), and Mary is NOT someone you want
to tangle with. She stands up for herself quite well.

This might get VERY interesting. :-)

I'd love to know where Colgate got ITS name. Coal tar, perchance?

Hmph! Stupid computer. The "T" at the end of Palmolive was supposed
to be the itty bitty superposed TM trademark symbol and that's the way
it showed upon on my screen when I typed it.

Wolfgang
stupid computer. :(

Many folks on rec.boats.paddle (where she posts) probably aren't
familiar with you either. g

You have no idea. The one I crossposted to rec.music.gdead provided
good entertainment for almost three weeks. ;-)

If I had noticed the crossposting, I would have eliminated the second group, as
I normally do not like to enter the crossposting milieu. But my post wasn't
meant as a slant towards Mary, but to poke fun at roff, which of course IS full
of bull**** on a regular basis (See - there goes some now.) So Mary, you can
stand up or be seated and it will make no difference to me - whatever makes you
comfortable. :)

I would like to see a reference for that too. My bull**** meter got up to
75% on that one and I got curious. All I can find is one environmental
action group recommending a boycott of palm oil products that are produced
in areas where the orangutan still lives (because people are clearing
forests to plant oil palms), a few articles on import bans (to shore up
local production), some articles on developing plantations (in Australia),
and a reclassification of 'raw palm oil' in India due to an import tax
loophole. Nothing about dangers in consumption but a lot of signs of a huge
industry (who knew!).


Palm oil is very high in saturated fat (the bad kind).

Ahh, now that you put it that way, it IS amazing that someone who has never
posted on roff could sum up its essence in one short sentence. I concur!
