Not a biologist, I simply read several university studies on cutting
board materials and their relative safety from bacteria when I was
making a few cutting boards. I thought the man made materials would
be better. I was wrong based on what I read.-

No Frank, you were NOT wrong in context of cutting boards. I am an
avid cook and have not only read the same things you have, but
followed the debates over the years. I think it was proven to just
about everyone's satisfaction that wooden cutting boards are even more
safe than plastic in the home environment.

And I agree with you that wood kept off the ground is not a good site
for bacterial growth. With those qualifiers, I agree with your
original response.

Perhaps I should have been a little more careful in my original
response, too. I didn't mean to offend.
