Thank you.  I was a lot more meticulous in my grammar than usual in that
message, but, because this is a forum and not a writing project, I am
usually a lot more relaxed in my grammar.  As long as people can understand
what I am saying, grammar just isn't that important.

Case and point: What does this mean?  I know it is probably a reference to
the fact that humans are about 70% water, or that about 70% of the Earth is
cover by water, but I fail to see the relivance.
