OK a friend bought this book, an MFW lurker who wanted to know what all the
fuss was about. I too have now seen Lyle's new book and I cannot believe he
has the cheek to ask $20 for a book-especially as e-books are 100% profit
practically-that is nothing more than a bunch of medline articles and bits
of research truncated with some of Lyle's cojecture added.There is no useful
information on using bromocriptine for fat loss, nothing new at all.

nope. It is in E-book format. Saves a lot of money on production.

And since you have already identified yourself as nothing but a pathetic
troll, of course we should accept this as a truthful post.

Sure.

Yes, yes it does.

Of course, on further thought, it's pretty clear by your first post that
you have no 'anonymous MFW lurker friend' who bought the book
(especially since it's not even ready to buy yet, should be today;
meaning that it's impossible for them to have seen it yet) because your
review shows total ignorance of its content.

But you're just a troll (and a pathetic one at that).

Difference, I make a threat, I'm 100% serious about following through.

Your trolls are out and out lies. Because that's the type of pathetic
little individual a troll is.

Incidentally, you might want to get up to date on either the libel or
slander laws (I forget which is written and which is spoken). Just a
minor suggestion since you're telling lies in an attempt to hurt my
financial ability to make a living.

Incidentally, 'Bradley', it's pretty idiotic for you (as someone
pretending NOT to be a troll) to come out and admit that you are
trolling in this thread. Doesn't really do much for your ultimate
'credibility' to be that obvious about it.

But most trolls are pretty stupid in the first place.
You're dumber than that, apparently.

I just called Qfac and enquired as to why the book
I purchased last weekend still was not sent as of today.

Lady mentioned and I quote "we are adding content to
the book" (no bullsh*t Lyle, exact words) and it will be
up electronically later today.

Anyway, I asked why the book still had no explanation of
it's contents other than the name at qfac's website, she
said because it's not available yet, I said well it's a little
bit confusing because it says "Availability: Usually ships
the same business day" right under the name Bromocriptine.

I mentioned (to qfac) that I recommended a few friends to the
site but they didn't want to buy bromo because it gave no
explanation as to the books contents.

As a business, It would have been better If they would have
stated "Now Taking Pre-Orders and Book will be available
Friday May 17th" and then gave a description of Bromo's
contents.

I'll stop ranting now.......

Look, shit happens. Things were to have been finished last week and the
book was to have been available this past Monday.

Then I went out of town, and *I* fucked up (forgot to send her the last
3 chapters). And there have been some other minor
changes/corrections/additions to make. So it's 5 days later than
expected. Considering it took me 4 years since my last book, 5 more
days is no big deal.

Considering I told people that the keto book would be 'done in 3 months'
for nearly a year, this is NOTHING. And it should be up within about 30
minutes (I sent her the last two minor corrections 2 minutes ago).

It really should have been available last Monday but there were a couple
of minor fuckups due to:
a. Lyle being a moron (forgetting 3 chapters and being out of town and
unable to send them)
b. problems with formatting (I run Mac, QFAC PC and there were
formatting problems in the conversion that I had to make corrections on
after I got back into town and sent her the corrections).

Stress raises cortisol, so chill the fuck out. ;)

In my biz travels I met some guys who made computer furniture for the Imac.
It was painted in ugly garish colors to match the Imac colors. I asked them
about it. They said since the Imac is so different, it clashes with ordinary
computer furniture. So they make this stuff to match the Imac colors and
design. An obvious sign of sickness and poor taste in my opinion.

Makes ya kinda wonder. If Lyle is in fact an Imactard, does he own large
amounts of garish, loud, neon bright furntiure to match his high tech
plastic computer??

Inquiring minds want to know.

No. If I could spray pain mine black without having it overheat, I'd do
it in a second. Boring, gray box computers work fine for me.

But for the price, the Imac was the best choice power/functionality wise.
It's just ugly as shit.

knows for a fact that they make vibrators (the Ivibe, based on the
structure of the Pocket Rocket, for those who know their sex toys) to

Hardly, I wanted this thing done last Monday but this is always the way:
a billion and one minor little difficulties that slow things up.

It's also why I have so much trouble finishing projects: all of the
bullshit at the very end (just minor detail work) is very stress and
anxiety causing for me.

I just want it done and my part is. I have no idea what the 48 hour
delay is about now, but it's out of my hands.

Anyhow, I don't really talk about what I do (or about myself much at
all) with my strippers. If they don't ask, I don't offer. I'd rather
hear about them.

I actually think the typos are breeding in that book.

I'm very careful to set it off by itself so it doesn't infect other

you can paint it any color you like, but you would have to remove the
elecronic components from the outter shell. this might require special
tools i.e. fucked up looking allen wrenches. keep in mind that you
would be voiding the warranty that no one uses anyway and placing
yourself in a predicament susceptible to electric shock so ground
yourself; wear a condom.

These little boys who have to pay or beg for sex just kill me. She didnt'
even allow that much it sounds like. She just used little blackie to perform

I agree.

telling lies in a public forum (what you are doing, what John Williams
was doing) in an attempt to hurt someone financially IS something
against which I can litigate.

I was never much for ugly garish colors, psychedelic graphic design or

I'll interpret that as "Both." :)

Seriously, I agree. While I frequently like innovative design -- the
flat-panel R2D2-head iMac is one -- I strongly prefer the range of colors
that nature can produce. (Which is incredibly wide, really, when you
consider suchlike as sunsets, tropical fish, and the Painted Desert.)

When I come to fnord power, those responsible for the oricinal iMacs'
colors will be sent to the salt mines -- but they'll get off light, as a
whole bunch of past and present people involved in the many color-crimes
of the print version of "Wired" will discover what it's like to roast in
the belly of a giant Slore, I can tell you.
