<DIV><FONT size=2>I think it's probably important not to confuse =
the
validity of the message by the way or by whom it is expressed. =
Most of us
would agree that the wholesale slaughter of elephants for their ivory is =
wrong. At the same time, I will admit that I can appreciate =
the feel
of ivory over plastic. Fortunately there is enough prebanned ivory =
for the
moment to satisfy those who want to pay the =
price. Plastic is
also made from a non renewable source, petroleum. In addition, =
there are
probably environmental consequences to it's manufacture. I haven't =
heard
anybody argue that making keytops out of petroleum products supports =
terrorism,
but I'm sure it's coming. I say we close this one and move
on.</FONT></DIV>
