        They are extinct too. Mighty big coincidence, no? I'm sure that
someone will suggest that these are somehow related. Probably someone
already has, check the archieves. :)

        I'm sure the debate has progressed, insofar as all debates progress,
i.e., going nowhere. Now, if you want to know if the debate has been resolved...
        :)
