There is no simple questions with Julie. On the surface they look simple
enough. She originally posted about the problem finding pears in small
cans because someone has issues with other sizes. For a normal person,
the problem is easily solved by opening a larger can and using
containers. Most of us have enough experience with the attention whore
that is the Bove to realize that was just the opening salvo for the
reasons that reasonable solutions could not possibly work.
