_How_ many times must I say it?!!  They're
teal-pointed* -- not pink, fuschia or rose-colored.  

*-pointed refers to the coloring of the lower legs,
head or ears, and mane/tail (except in dogs and cats,
who have no manes, of course -- well, that doesn't
account for maned wolves, or lions, or the extinct
Caspian tiger...)

 I've told you before:  they're not pink, they're
 sort of a teal.  And you 
 can see them just fine if you put a narrow-pass

Ohdear.  This is what happens when you send before
reading all posts in the relevant thread...

I think they're sorted in hypothetical order by country of origin,

 Out of curiosity, why is it that Erik and a few others are able to
 get away with incessant windbaggery and insulting behavior?
Speaking for myself, I simply don't care what Erik or WTG have to say on that
subject, so I ignore it. It's probably the most codependent aspect of this
list that we overlook the severely antisocial behaviors of certain 
listmembers.

It depends on whether one judges that the enabling behavior in the 
particular case in question is overlooking the severely antisocial 
behavior in question and allowing it to continue or responding to it and 
therefore providing the one who exhibits the severely antisocial behavior 
with the reward of seeing that their severely antisocial behavior has 
provoked a response . . .
