But I didn't group them like you do and certainly didn't mean to offend anybody. Very sorry you got upset. I sincerly wanted to find out why the people on the list didn't want to try a free and environmentally good product, but time and time again suggest a chemical." I have not really understand in what way I was _so_ offensive but will try and figure it out. If anybody has the time to educate me further, in this case in the shade of meanings of the English language, please do by setting me straight off list. :-) Lisbeth in Gothenburg <http://homepage.mac.com/holisticum/> updat 050215 <http://www.got-a-mac.org> medlemssida för Got-a-Mac (Mug in Gothenburg)
