Bravo Matt, and bravo Bill.

I was about to decide that a reasonable discussion was impossible in
this newsgroup and unsubscribe.  Matt and Bill have given me reason to
hope.  

Abortion is controversial, but we (or most of us) are rational adults,
in theory able to discuss even controversial topics with reason and
civility.  I'm giving this newsgroup another chance.  (But if I see
another posting with >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> and 2% at the bottom of my screen,
that's it!  If you want to argue with a single person in the group about
some point of his argument, or insult and deride, please do it by mail.)
