Harry,

I beg you to think again about Aids. Please pay attention to what Pete
Vincent has written.

There is a great tragedy in the making. Economically, almost a whole
continent below the Sahara is now in the process of dying, some countries
faster than others. The only people who will be left in a generation's time
will be a small proportion who have natural immunity.

I go along with you on several issues. I'm still agnostic on the matter of
CO2 warming. However, the evidence for the causation of Aids is, to my
mind, totally overwhelming, much as I'd like to join forces with the
maverick on our list! 

Keith
