Ochlospecies

[Ken Kinman]

    Well, I am sorry to hear of any "suffering" in the transition.  But I
for one would like to thank Diana for the information, since I had never
heard of ochlospecies.  If I want to learn more about it, I will know where
to go, even if I have to "suffer" somewhat to do so.  If politicians are in
need of positive reinforcement, I think Diana is deserving of the same
courtesy.  I certainly think the negative comments were unfair to say the
least.
