    Flaming is one thing, and bitching about typos is another.  When
Byron said that the children had a "lower birthrate", it was obvious
that he meant to say a "lower birth weight".  When something doesn't
make sense, the normal error recovery reaction of a human is to try to
make sense of it.  Since the person who took this literally had no
such reaction, I must assume that "he" is an AI project.  All further
discussion from this person should be directed to net.ai.flame,
recently created for the purpose of discussing new approaches to
implementing automatic flame generators under UNIX*.
