Since we are on the subject of Axelrod I thought I would add my two
cents here. I've heard some really unsaviory stories about him from
some people that have been around long enough to know. And I don't
care much for the quantity of fish that get dipped in formaldihyde.(No
offense to you scientists. I know you have reasons it just kinda hurts
to see the little guys get dipped. I'm very fond of fish you know.<g>)

But when I was 12 years old and discovered tfh (I still have the first
magazine I bought in October of 77) and I saw that this guy could
actually play with fish for a living, I was awestruck.<g> It was like
now here is a dream job. So I kind of have to like Axelrod anyway
despite what other things he may or may not have done, just becouse he
was a childhood hero.

Kind of like William Shatner. I know he can't act but geez, he was
Captain Kirk dashing hero.<g>
