My only intent was to say that in my experience some data has been quite readily available. In our case it was enough data to understand our son's weight was trending in an unhealthy direction. We made small changes to the quantity and quality of food available to him and reversed the trend. The 75th percentile just happened to be the trigger in our personal case. I make no suggestion that it is an appropriate trigger in general, or that it equates to 'being too heavy.'

I don't understand this, it's such a routine part of the doctor visit for my two sons for them to tell us what percentile the boys are in for both height and weight. At one point one boy went above the 75% in weight and we immediately made changes. Are pediatricians really not giving out this data on a routine basis?

I was really disappointed to find no ebook version of Raold Dahl's books, so I bought most of them in paperback and read them to my boys. Now I'm reading them The Hobbit on my Kindle. Prior to that we used several interactive reading apps on the iPad.

If they re-schedule and launch soon, I'll think it was respect. If they don't have anything for people to buy for Christmas, I'll think the product simply wasn't ready. Business is business.

He says no such thing. He says we live in an imperfect world where the government has a role to play in getting us out of this recession. As to your second point, that's based on your opinion of what constitutes making society better.

I read them as asking the show also be offered in another format, not exclusively.

It has a bathtub, but you have to move three walls to get to it. How long before that gets old?
