There is no difference between reading it from an out of print book or old
newspaper than there is reading it from information stored in a database
on the internet. The best part is, there is more information to be had on
the internet than there is in your miniscule library. I also know a bit
about this subject, as I was curious to know 'why' anyone would be as
weird as dear old Timithey...

There was no need, as you had already stated that and I saw no real
relevance in it. Many people use drugs, some, like Threadwell tried
different things to stay off them, like living with Grizzlies.

Adding to irrelavance does nothing really important in differing with Mr
Know-it-all...yes, you've taken Michiel's place.

Actually, any contribution that shows you're full of shit, makes a great
stride in labeling you as Mr Bullshiter.

Perhaps he was lucky, the fact remains that he did live with bears for 13
years...there must have been something to his madness to survive that
long. What it does prove is that your bear knowledge isn't what you'd like
everyone to think it is.

Actually, Treadwell himself appeared on the Discovery Channel, which is
no different than National Geographic (you probably don't even get those
channels). He also appeared on The Late Show with David Letterman and
Dateline NBC.

He had to have gotten his one way or the other...he 'harrassed' crocks a
lot longer than he did Sting Rays.

As are any of those who go out in the woods (jungle) to mix with wild
animals...it's their environment and you take your chances, layman or
university degreed...

All nut cases get my attention, that's why you're on my list of whackos.
