Thanks for the support, Bill.  I was criticized off list by another, who
misunderstood, thinking that I was asking for donations to help me to
develop a commercial product.  In truth, I am only wanting to try to answer
the question as to whether colony productivity correlates with the presence
or predominance of certain gut flora.  We   plan to publish our results for
the benefit of all.

Curiously, although many are curious as to what results we may find, no one
has stepped forward to contribute a few dollars toward the cost of finding
out.
