That was the first post I've ever sent to this list, Greg, as I only signed
up last night. I'm happy to be open-minded about discussions, and would
expect to see a broad range of topics, and nature of discussions, ranging
from the lighthearted and humorous to more deeply philosophical. We are, in
the end, just human - and unseemly as you may find it, defecation and
urination are very much habitual behaviour for us. If a film-maker decides
to include defecation and urination in his film, then it is surely as valid
a topic for consideration as any other, as long as it's not gratuitous?
