The list you posted is simply a mix of scientific analysis, 
superstition and heresay, and outright nonsense.  If you don't 
discriminate between sources of information, then you'll get 
confused.  

There have been several posts that have disparaged the scientific 
research without providing any basis for the criticism.  No 
references have been provided to anything that would demonstrate that 
the scientific information is incorrect.

We have pointed to Herrero, who is widely considered to be an expert 
in bear behavior.  He doesn't live thousands of kilometers from bears 
conducting his research in an armchair.  He lives in Alberta (last I 
heard) and conducts his research in the field.

If you or anyone else has information more useful that Herrero's, 
please post a reference.

Mike
