Name-calling's childish and un-called for, but depending on what's said to someone first, reactions can vary. I try not to fall out with anyone. It seems a waste of good time - and breath.
Pink - I'll take your word for it about the soup. It doesn't sound bad actually, but since cabbage contains complexcarbohydrates, it doesn't get completely digested by teh stomach and small intestine. When harmless bacteria eat it, hydrogen, carbon dioxide...and methane are sadly by-products of this bacterial intervention! Think I'll give it a miss!! : )
