Thanks for the suggestion, but the reason I included the mention of a *legal* source for turtle meat was to ensure we wouldn't be increasing the endangerment of any such species. My wife, who despite her compu-phobia has a natural bent for flaming, wishes me to pass on her curiosity about whether you have a "thing" for turtles? She wonders if you might accuse her of eating the last dinosaur. You see? Maybe we could entice her onto the computer if we could get her involved in a royal flame-fest. BTW, she says she *likes* soylent green! Balanone PP ... Never knock on death's door. Ring the doorbell and run. He hates that! 201434369420143436942014343694201434369420143436942014343694718
