Re:  not calling things by their name:  If we were an e-list of parents, I'd
perhaps agree.  But this is a professional list and I find it hard to
understand why scientists, practitioners, and policy people must talk in
code.  We are trying to analyze information not obfuscate it.  If I want to
criticize, praise, or describe a specific product or company, or recommend
an improvement, I feel obligated to be direct and take responsibility for my
remarks.  I know that the list rules are unclear to many, who assume they
must use H------- or M---  when they want to say 'Holister' or 'Mead'.   If
the naming of a specific company seems unnecessary to the point I am trying
to make,  I use the generic, i.e.  'follow-on formula' or 'feeding tube
device' .  Perhaps the list mothers would care to comment?  I shall, of
course, defer to their guidance.
