Well, smart-ass is as smart-ass does. Thanks for fleshing out your
objections to genemod crops- but you weren't very civil in your first
post on this mail list. To quote:

You're not likely to gain much credence here if you start out with
scatological notes and don't back up your assertions with evidence. The
burden of proof is on you- where's your beef?
Plowing up grassland (or burning down a forest) to put in crops is by
far the largest monkey wrench humans throw into the evnironment- and
you're worried about new breeds of corn? You can keep your horse
manure.
