I did not mean that Liam intended to insult the working group. After all,
Eliot Kimber made the same argument, and he is on the group. It just seems
to me that it is an inadvertant insult, as if I said to a friend: "You
better not start eating those shrip, you'll never be able to stop." If
they 
are not a chronic over-eater or shrimp-addict, then it would be strange 
to suggest that in *this one case* they are likely to not know when 
they are full. My friend would probably come to the conclusion that I 
thought that he did not know what was best for himself.
