I personally thought it was fairly funny, and if the shoe fits me, well…oh, troglodytes don’t wear shoes – sorry, I forgot. Anyway, maybe it’s referring to most of us on the list being meat-eaters. Since the Thump is a vegetarian, that seems most likely to me. <o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> After all the ribbing some of us have dished out to the Thumper, I’m willing to take a bit of the same. Maybe we troggies are thicker-skinned, though.

Avery At 05:51 PM 6/11/2006, you wrote: <o:p></o:p> Avery, In my opinion, you are showing a quote out of context.  The full text was: "I appreciate the info, and it will hopefully convince some of the troglodytes on this list that mouse excrement IS a serious problem! But I'm not so sure about the chlorine, due to rust problems. Industrial strength Hydogen Peroxide might be better. ( From ag store, as recommended here previously. )" I see nothing wrong with Thumps post...?  Why are you so insulted?   I think most of us take Thump with a grain of salt...the guys a screaming germ-a-phobe.  Possibly his customers think he's a little too strange and that's why he can't make a living in this work?????...thus afford to go to conventions...
