Thank you, Jay, for saying so well what I've been thinking.  And thank you,
Kathy D, for reminding us that facts are facts, whether we like them or fit
them into our parenting style or not.  I'm all for dropping the G word,
telling our clients what is optimal, and letting them (and us) make
decisions accordingly.  Period.
