"Rise to the bait" means some one has made a statement that is "loaded" or "baited" and is hoping someone will be gulible enough to ask a question about it. Then the fun begins. : ) Also there is "trolling" which means the above and has become Internet slang, along with such terms as "flame" "spam" and "Macing" So the subject was Rib Removal, and since no one asked "why?" I figured every one was waiting with "bated breath". So I asked.... > <<Why in the world would you want to remove a rib?>> Which in itself is a troll, and the answer.... > > To make a female piano? Which seems to prove there is more than one god, at least on this list, or only one more theosophist on this list. Richard the Ribber
