Re: Moles

**Carolyn Ulrich c*@earthlink.net**

I'd like to concur. While I don't have a mole problem and never have, that's no
guarantee that one won't "pop up" one of these days. More importantly, I might
be called on to write about moles. So while the current discussion is of no
immediate use to me or my so-called writing career, it might be in the future,
so why should I deem it irrelevant? In the meantime, I've enjoyed following the
discussion. Carolyn Ulrich
