First of all, I will apologize for (perhaps -- haven't reread the thread and probably won't today due to time restraints) having mentioned global warming. In general, I find myself annoyed with people who fail to follow threads and it appears that I may have done just that.
As for kids knowing all about continental drift and the timing, etc., well, there may be some kids -- akin to the sort of who know everything about dinosaurs -- who do, but, in general, most kids don't.
Furthermore, it really doesn't matter much to this situation. It was a question that I asked. Period.
As for bootman, well, he's nothing that threatens me, but, I do resent the statement that I am being less than honest. I detest inexact use of the language and having been the wife of a pathelogical liar, I resent the implication that I llied.
Maybe the guy shoveling the poopy strawman?

Reviewing this entire discussion, I must admit I cannot find any instance wherein anyone participating in this discussion has presented any such statement or implication as you allege. If you would care to demonstrate said statement or implication, I would be appreciative of your effort in such regard. Further, I resubmit my severally, explicitly issued (and to this point unmet) challenge that you demonstrate "
inexact use of the language" on my part - or, for that matter, on the part of any other party to this discussion.
Bootman is timber. Just as taking the same paths day in and day out bores me to death, so too does typing the same names over and over.

Non sequitor and illogical, but, an attempt to be humorous.
