It really depends on the species, Ed.
Look, I'd love to find a solution and it has got me thinking a little
about it. It's just hard, I really/really/really understand the milieu
probably better than all but a coupla dozen folks on this whole
planet, I run one of the largest and certainly the oldest public
access internet systems in, er, um, the third planet from the sun.
But it ain't easy, it isn't even clear who is qualified to do this (I
mean, you wouldn't trust me personally to edit kids' school textbooks
would you?), and the worst thing we can do is go thrusting about (hmm,
perhaps not the exact right image) looking for someone to stick the
whole problem onto.
But don't despair that it hasn't caused any thinking in those who
might be able to help, cuz it has. It just ain't shake and bake,
that's all.
