this is most likely the best source of fiero information on the planet, but there are people who bash each other, either because they disagree on a topic, or just don't like each other, particularly in Totally Off Topic. if you keep to the other areas it's generally safer. posting on controversial topics dealing with race, religion or politics will get you negs from one side of the spectrum or another. so will calling people names like "dimwit", "idiot", or worse, such as the e-mail you say you received.
if you want to participate in TOT, be civil, be prepared to support your argument, and accept that some people are coprophages who will just never get it and aren't worth the effort.

Wow, someone clicks into "The Trash Can" and expects it to smell like roses? The last time I stuck my nose in a trash can I ran for the Lysol.  Seriously, you can't have a place where everyone is accepted (at least at first) and not have some name calling going on. How boring is that? I suppose you could join a quilters club but how many of them know how to fix a Fiero? The best places to hang out for more cordial conversations are General and the even more cordial Tech section.
The day we grow up is the day we stop growing.

I'm NOT attacking you, lurker, I'm just curious.
What does "coprophages" mean?
Is it a variation [or a typo] on coprophagous?
Yeah, that would fit.
Once again, you have impressed me.
Oh wait, this is the trash can!

Coprophagous insects consume and redigest the feces of large animals; these feces contain substantial amounts of semi-digested food. (Herbivore digestive systems are especially inefficient.) The most famous feces-eating insect is dung-beetle and the most ubiquitous being the fly.
Pigs are most commonly associated with eating not only their own dung, but those of other animals and humans. In parts of the third world, where village dwellers excrete in the open, pigs are known to eat it.[citation needed]Rabbits, cavies (guinea pigs) and related species do not have the complicated ruminant digestive system. Instead they extract more nutrition from grass by giving their food a second pass through the gut. Soft caecal pellets of partially digested food are excreted and generally consumed immediately. They also produce normal droppings, which are not eaten.
Young elephants, panda bears, koala bears and hippos eat the feces of their mother to obtain the necessary bacteria for the proper digestion of the vegetation found on the savannah and in the jungle. When they are born, their intestines do not contain these bacteria (they are completely sterile). Without them, these youngs would be unable to get any nutritional value from plants.
Gorillas eat their own feces and the feces of other gorillas.
Hamsters eat their own droppings; this is thought to be a source of vitamins B and K, produced by bacteria in the gut. Apes have been observed eating horse feces for the salt. Monkeys have been observed to eat elephant feces.
The word was misspelled, but it's impressive that someone wanted to use it.

ok, so i invented a word by back-forming an adjective into a noun. the english language is going to heck anyway. suck it up, doofuses. 
the OED unabridged says coprophagist is the correct usage. i'm so ashamed.[This message has been edited by lurker (edited 10-02-2007).]
