    What some people seem not to have noticed is that Anders' suggestion
    requires that you *don't* kill the ones that fall for the trap; you
    sterilize them and send them on their way, presumably on the grounds
    that mozzies might serve a host of ecologically significant functions,
    so it's not wise to just exterminate them all and let god sort them out.
    Just breed a dominant clade that dislikes human smells and blood.

    Of course, this solution might be interpreted by
    some misguided souls as cruelty to animals. spike
