Well, first you have to present some facts. Then, we can wrestle with what

Each of us is alone. It's the human condition.

I never mentioned references until you did. I simply questioned your 
interpretation of the few facts that you claimed to have at your fingertips 
from Vet School 101 of 20 years ago, in your demeaning remarks to me. That 
would put your reference back into 1980--when equine exercise science was in 
its fetal stage. My guess is that new knowledge has been brought forward 
since then. Maybe not. Be interesting to find out, though, eh?

Methinks you mistake substance for shallow pontification. Me also thinks that 
your taste in jewelry may be wanting.
