discharged sailor and would love to do my part.

Julie, what is the point of a response like this? You post many messages
where you simply discuss your own opinion (just as the OP did here).

I think she was concerned with a rather odd first post, perhaps colored by
the new person's responses to known and obvious loons.
Personally, I'm willing to take it at face value, but with considerable
caution.

And aren't you implying that you think (a personal opinion, btw) Julie's
opinion are ... what? ... worthless?

This is a discussion group which means opinions, some personal, some general
knowledge and some off-topic, will be posted along with facts, fantasies and
some people's attitudes that you should knuckle under to their tyrannically
presented diet plans.

I don't get the point of his post. He is a newbie here. Why would he post
such a thing?

Not at all. I thought her response was rude because she frequently posts
pointed messages and seemed to object when someone else did the same thing.
She was not posting an opinion on a topic; she seemed to be objecting to the
OP. However, she has posted a follow-up explaining her intentions.

It was meant to be rude. He came here and was conversing with that Dr. who
shall not be named. And now he is in my KF. I can't see why he was here at
all except to be trolling.

I can't really address his other messages because I ignore *all* messages
that involve Dr. C. However, the one I saw was the first I had read from
this newcomer, and it was not a response to the Dr. I do try to avoid
feeding the trolls, but this message did not have the earmarks of a troll
(at least, in my interpretation). If the OP is really a newcomer--as it
seemed--then he might not be aware of Dr. C's trollish behavior. If he
continues to respond to the Dr., then I would agree with you.

I read it as Julie saying, "O-o-o-okay . . ." as you or I would say when
expecting 'the other shoe to drop.' as it were.

IOW, what he posted didn't make sense to me either., so . . . .

Didn't make sense to me either and seemed like a strange thing to be posting
if the subject hadn't been brought up. Which it hadn't.

A newbie's first posts may be influenced by all sorts of
misconceptions. It seems to me pointless to speculate, let alone draw
conclusions, until more is known.

I think everyone in the group supports diabetes research, tho some of the
studies / clinical tests / ad naseum fail to demonstrate any common sense,
consistency or verifiable results.

Kinda like the report that was accidentally released in the 70's about Coke
( the beverage) causing cancer in lab animals when injected ( not consumed
and digested) in concentrated doses equivalent to a railroad tank car full /
day.

Yeah, right. At my worst I'd never have come close to that level of
consumption and I was a certified Pepsi-holic.

She didn't draw any conclusions, unlike you, Malcom, she just didn't
understand the post ands wanted to see if there was more to it coming.

You, otoh, jumped to the conclusion that Julie had jumped to a conclusion
... Me, I just read it, scratched my head and . . . . then commented on the
conclusions made about Julie's supposed conclusion.

And with that I conclude this reply.

Because y'all have already said it all.
The OP probably figured he'd accidentally posted to alt.nuts.assorted,
and moved on to greener pastures where the desire of an honorably
discharged sailor to do his part to support diabetes research may be the
introduction to a serious discussion.

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.

And what sort of discussion do you think we should have had about it?

IMO, we can throw all the money in the world at it but it isn't going to
help us.

I know that and I'm sorry I was just a bit lazy and didn't go backwards to

Yes. Imagine...
Ye olde Eidgenössisches Institut für Geistiges Eigentum in Bern shutting
down in the late 19th century - before young Albert had a chance to work
there between 1902 and 1909.
Would young Albert still have had his annus mirabilis?
Or would we have been condemned to live in a universe without ye olde
photoelectric effect, without Brownian motion, without relativity,
without the equivalence of matter and energy?
A fate too awful to contemplate...
