Bad example, Mike.  The World Health Organization declared Smallpox
eradicated in 1977.  However, you can substitute Typhus, Cholera,
Diphtheria, or number of other nasty diseases for the same effect.

As for the rest of the argument, I (of course) agreee with you.
Convincing Scott is another matter all together.

(Both of you: be careful not to tread too deeply into matters medical,
or I'll dive into the fray, and I'll probably drag Eric Sergienko in
with me.) :^)
