Thalidomide was the drug that horrified the world - as you might understand, younger Networkers, from the picture above. The Australian medico,
William McBride,noted the link between thalidomide and

Peter Gordon are brilliant. And it is pleasing to write about a care-full corporate,

This blog does not take Anonymous comments. Experience shows that comments cluttered with "Anonymous" are boring and people don't know whether "Anonymous" is one person or many. This is not a decision about freedom of speech. It is a decision about boring or unwillingness to be known by even a pseudonym.
