the rottenness of a percentage of the ingredients.
Blml allows of an infinite variety of opinion. This 
is good. But when a long-winded contributor makes 
repetitive assertions as to the Laws of the game, not 
as opinions of what is desirable but rather professing 
an interpretation of Law at variance with the proper -
authorized - interpretation, the value and credibilty of 
the whole discussion becomes diminished, corrupted, 
noisome. People  turn aside from the stench, not 
persevering with research of the wholesome parts 
for what golden truths and pearls of wisdom may lie 
there.
