Of course I know about bone china (did you really think I had no idea?)
but I don't see how bone china should continue to bother them since
once its made the process if over and they're not ingesting any bone
with the food served on it.
Do they eschew riding public buses which use gasoline made of oil that
came from dinosaurs?

I never owned a Vega. Remember those aluminum engines they had?
Although I did have a boyfriend who owned a little Maverick, most guys I
knew were into muscle cars. I never knew a guy who owned a Pinto,
thankfully?

Ok, fair enough. THanks for that explanation. I did take it sort of
wrong at first reading thinking you thought I was clueless?

Yes and no. It comes from decaying flora and fauna. Plants, dinos, etc.

Ah.. and if it hadn't have been for the 3 glasses of wine I enjoyed
(testing those Australian wines, y''know!) I'm sure I would have figured
it out eventually. :)
At least I hope I would have?
