Here, here!  (Or is it Hear, hear!?)  I got back from Christmas vacation
and was excited (and surprised!) to see about 100 new postings in this
group.  Well, I've waded through 30, and about 20 are this Birds.vs.cats
thing.  My opinion would only inflame at least one if not both sides, so
I won't give it.

But I cannot resist stating that one of the frustrating things about net-land 
is that there is almost NO WAY to stop an eccentric 'debate' such as this.  And
a desparate call for it to stop elicits 10 more responses!!

Sigh.
