Since you didn't address this post to a particular person, but keeping in
mind I didn't mention "living longer" in one of my posts (Alan the Evil
did, though), I'm doubting this post is directed at me.

Nevertheless, using this post as an opportunity for a springboard, I still
really would like to know the definition of the word "biopoiesis."  I just
hate it when someone may know something I do not.
