I think you both have math problems. "149 out of 100"? At least I
think Carol did hers on purpose!

Although I've enjoyed a lot of stuff that Wayne has posted, his postings
on this thread haven't made me happy. We're not talking "accomodation"
here, we're talking about an airline deciding not to give away *FREE*
peanuts any more, and substituting something equivalent.

And a little Googling shows that someone eating peanuts isn't going to
cause the death of anyone else. Of course, it also showed that many of
those with the most serious problems are very young, so careless eating
of peanuts (like dropping some on the floor while a parent is sleeping)
might cause a fatality.
