On 9-27-95 I reposted something I wrote back in July on this
subject; do I have to repost again and again? How often do you
need to see it -- every week?
Cl> I ignore it no more than people who reject the AAT, ignore land
Cl> carnivore predation. The homind can't outrun a lion. It can't outswim
Cl> a crocodile. Some got eaten. I think there's a skull in South Africa

Okay, I give up... I'll repost once again my posts on predation.
I'll dig them out tomorrow. Will you please read them THIS time?
