Jack,

Thanks for the fat-soluble vitamin advice. It's especially true for vit. A, which can cause liver failure if taken in high doses. As the saying goes about the other vitamins, Americans have the most expensive urine in the world .

BTW, I really feel the need to emphasize here that my posts shouldn't be read with any defensive tone. I know they could seem that way, but they're not. I don't use smileys enough, I guess. I don't drink, so I can't use the "beer" one. This one's not right , and I'm certainly not . Hopefully no one will or , or think I'm , but you also don't have to .

That's more emotives than I've used in the whole year. Good night.
