   Mr. Perlow, you have consistently failed to make note of the simple fact
that the contaminated capsules were *NOT* from the same lot #s.  By definition
this implies that they could not have come down the line "one right after
the other".  Kindly stick to the facts when making wild and unfounded speculations
about things you obviously do not understand.
