Even if someone had a PhD or MD in the field they couldn't determine mental health based on Usenet posts. I mean, I may call someone (ahem) a kook if they threaten legal action often, or chastize people for doing the EXACT things they do, but it is ridiculous for me to suppose that means they have mental problems. >I don't care if you see this or not.

FWIW, on all the other forums I go to (political blogs, journals, web discussion groups, and other Usenet groups) people post just like you did. As long as it's labelled a rant or you say you're lurking and might be back, no one bats an eye. Anyway, you know people on rfc defend Sheldon. Racist, homophobic, sexist Sheldon, the guy who makes threats regularly. It's because he's a regular. Did you not think they'd defend Lyn? She's a regular. They don't care if Lyn threatens you or flies off the handle or tells someone they don't count or claims to call the cops on someone for a Usenet post, as long as they can ignore it. Once you call attention to it, they flip. THAT'S what they're upset about. Their little community getting stirred up and they feel like they're being asked to take sides. Stacia |

Where exactly do you see that? The closest statement I can find on that web page to what you assert is: "If accidentally overheated, non-stick cookware can emit fumes that may be harmful to birds, as can any type of cookware preheated with cooking oil, fats, margarine and butter. This is why you should always move your birds out of the kitchen before cooking." That statement doesn't say the level of danger is the same as for any other cookware. In fact, the danger is way way higher for non-stick. However, smoke from other types of cookware can be dangerous for birds, too. I'm sure their statement was carefully engineered to give you the impression you got, even though that is not literally what it said. The part about other forms of cookware was a red herring designed to leave that impression. Avian Dis. 2000 Apr-Jun;44(2):449-53. Polytetrafluoroethylene gas intoxication in broiler chickens. Boucher M, Ehmler TJ, Bermudez AJ. Department of Veterinary Pathobiology, College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Missouri-Columbia, 65211, USA. A poultry research facility that housed 2400 Peterson x Hubbard cross broilers (48 pens of 50 chicks each) experienced 4% mortality within 24 hr of chick placement. Mortality started within 4 hr of placement, and within 72 hr, cumulative mortality had reached 52%. Mild dyspnea was the only clinical sign noted in some chicks prior to death. The primary gross lesion noted in the chicks submitted was moderate to severe pulmonary congestion. The lungs of four of these chicks sank in formalin, and blood-tinged fluid was noted in the mouth and nares of two chicks. The microscopic lesions noted in the affected chicks were moderate to severe pulmonary edema and congestion. The diagnosis indicated to the submitter was that pulmonary edema caused by exposure to an unidentified noxious gas caused the death of the chicks. The poultry house environment was tested for sulfur dioxide, oxides of nitrogen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and volatile organic compounds (as produced by combustion engines); all tests were negative for significant levels of these compounds. A second broiler flock was placed in the same facility and the mortality at 6 wk was 11%, which was greater than the 2.5%-4.7% mortality seen in the previous four flocks on the farm. Further investigation revealed that the only change in management practice in this facility prior to the onset of the severe mortality problem was the replacement of 48 heat lamp bulbs (one for each pen). The new heat lamp bulbs were polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) coated. PTFE gas intoxication has been reported in several exotic avian species, but this intoxication has not been previously reported in a poultry flock. |

The bottom line is that people who are stupid enough to locate filthy birds in a kitchen and further not know how to cook kill birds, not Teflon. > > I'm sure their statement was carefully engineered > to give you the impression you got, even though > that is not literally what it said. The part > about other forms of cookware was a red herring > designed to leave that impression. I'm quite familiar with Teflon and it is about as inert as you can get unless you seriously overheat it i.e. temperatures in excess of 600 degrees. A normal residential stove will have a very difficult time heating a pan to that temperature even empty and it will take a considerable amount of time. Anyone who is that careless in the kitchen has a much better chance of killing their birds by burning the house down than by any toxic gas emissions from severely overheated cookware. The article you quote also contains only circumstantial information, not any actual scientific testing with proper controls.

How come you're not shocked that someone has been forging my info on those type of sites and then thinks it's funny to post them and for reasons that's none of their business, same as they do portions of private email. The point is that it's ridiculously easy to add whatever one wants to thousands, probably millions of sites just like those. The difference is that I admited when I did it.

Chemicals are used to "decolourise" the sugar. Pardon me, I guess they don't "bleach it", they "decolourise" it.

Your reading comprehension seems to need some work. Seems like we're just using different definitions of the word "bleach". This is what my dictionary says: bleach (blTch) v. bleached bleaching bleaches v. tr. 1. To remove the color from, as by means of chemical agents or sunlight. 2. To make white or colorless. v. intr. 1. To become white or colorless. n. 1. A chemical agent used for bleaching. 2. a. The act of bleaching. b. The degree of bleaching obtained. > > > It is absorption > > > and/or exchange techniques that are used to remove the colors. > > > > Chemicals are used to "decolourise" the sugar.

In the context of food, especially foods that are converted to white, I think the term "bleach" implies use of a chemical agent -- exactly because white flour is bleached using chemicals such as benzoyl peroxide which are considered suspect (by some) because they form the feared "free radicals" (eiree music should play every time those words are spoken). The bleaching action is caused by these free radicals attacking the conjugated electron orbitals present in many colored organic compounds. By using the term "bleach" to describe the removal of colored compounds from sugar by absorption into activated charcoal, you're implying that a similar process is occurring. It is not. Activated charcoal is almost pure carbon (with a small mineral content), and contains no significant levels of peroxides or free radicals. It does not perform any chemical reaction with the sugar. All it does is to absorb colored impurities from the sugar. Nobody seems to be concerned that the water they get from their activated charcoal filters (like Brita) has been "bleached". |

Nobody seems to be concerned that the > water they get from their activated charcoal > filters (like Brita) has been "bleached". The whole thing is pretty silly. Whatever they add during refining, they take out. The end product is 99.9% sugar. And most brown sugar is made out of white sugar. They take the white sugar and spray it with molasses to make it brown (and give it back some of the flavor they took out). -- Dan Abel Petaluma, California, USA |

Why do you think I'm upset? I merely said if she doen't like the group, don't let the dorr hit her on the ass on the way out. It's typical of Usenet whiners - Come in, act like assholes, get ignored, and then whine because the group is "so exclusive". Well, WTF do you expect?
