You can tell when a USENET discussion is getting old when one of
the participents drags out Hitler and the Nazis.

Alright, You can't kill *all* the snails.

Oh. Objective.

Oh. Objective.

Yeah, it's *just fish*. Subjective.

No, thats a given. The point is this this information has been around
for a ong time (although CO2 injection to enhance aquaric plant growth
is new, even though is discovered to be the limiting factor  by
Scheel in '66) but *nobody has ever quantified it*.

``Which curve should I use for this animation here ? I have
a bunch of equations''

``Uh, dunno. we don't really know, they're all about the same. Bezier
I guess.''

It's *just math*.

I for one would be delighted if sci.bio was elevated to the
high school level.
