No comment Rickets?

Because you insist...

This incident took place a week after the hurricane and is not related
to the rumors we discussed earlier.

Pathetic. If you can't even own up to the inconsequential mistakes you
make in usenet postings, I shudder to think about what you're like in
real life.

We were discussing the immediate aftermath and the lame excuse used by
FEMA that they couldn't come in because people were shooting at the
rescue helicopters. Once the Army arrived on Friday (2 September)
this phase was over.

I did not say that no helicopter has ever been shot at. The time
period in question was between the Hurricane and when real help showed
up.
