I so liked the idea of Chung's replying to himself so the FAKE-FAQ
could be distributed again with his sig on the bottom that I thought
I'd do a variant on it. I'd repost my note. Gotta do what Chung does.
He's my <snerk> hero...

>>                  | The Andrew B. Chung, MD/PhD FAQ |
>>                  |   Version 3.45, February, 2004  |
>>                   ---------------------------------

>> Introduction
>> ------------
>> New people arriving in sci.med.cardiology (s.m.c.) are often puzzled
>> and troubled by the vitriol directed at Dr. Andrew B. Chung, MD/PhD
>> (Dr. Chung) and want to better understand the reasons for the hatred
>> that some folks have for him.  This FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
>> does provide some truthful answers (there are versions of this FAQ put
>> out by detractors that are useful only for comparison purposes).  All
>> answers given herein can be independently verified either via Google
>> or by using the third-party resources at
>> http://www.heartmdphd.com/profile.asp.  This FAQ has been posted in
>> the past in a manner that permits authentication.  The veracity of
>> both the posting email address and domain name can be independently
>> confirmed via Google (http://makeashorterlink.com/?G5EF42A77).

>> The FAQ is arranged in typical FAQ form, i.e. a series of questions
>> followed by simple answers.  For those who don't wish to read the
>> whole FAQ, the following summary is provided.

>> Summary
>> -------
>> Dr. Chung is a well-respected licensed cardiologist, who is
>> board-certified in internal medicine and cardiology (cardiovascular
>> medicine).  In this capacity, he responds truthfully to medical
>> questions on s.m.c.  He does this out of sincere altruism when he has
>> spare time outside his private cardiology practice, where he sees
>> patients as a cardiologist.  If that was all he were, there would
>> probably be no controversy.

>> The controversy arises from Dr. Chung being Christian, in particular:

>> o He continues to publicly profess that Christ is his Lord and Savior.

>> o He freely helps people to lose weight in an altruistic Christian
>> fashion (http://www.heartmdphd.com/wtloss.asp).

>> o When attacked on the above issues, he turns the other cheek in a
>> Christian manner.

>> o When challenged about his faith in Christ, he witnesses steadfastly
>> without hatred.

>> o When insulted for his faith in Christ, he openly calls it a blessing.

>> o He remains truthful, as a servant of Christ, despite being libeled
>> and defamed (http://www.heartmdphd.com/libel.asp).

>> o Other Christians have affirmed Dr. Chung's strong faith in Christ.

>> The above lists only the highlights of Dr. Chung's Christian behavior
>> on s.m.c.  If anything, it understates it. Everything can be verified
>> in the Google archives. He witnesses to all at
>> http://www.heartmdphd.com/healer.asp.

>> People arrive in this group looking for help.  Dr. Chung has
>> graciously provided this over several years
>> (http://makeashorterlink.com/?H10A13167).   Dr. Chung consistently
>> demonstrates the breadth of his knowledge and experience.  This is
>> archived many times over in Google.

>> 7. Well, why not just ignore his Christian nature?
>> 8. But isn't it wonderful that Dr. Chung offers this free medical
>> information out of the goodness of his heart?
>> 9. How does a practicing physician have so much time to spend on Usenet?
>> 10. Won't challenging Dr. Chung drive people away?

>> Dr. Andrew B. Chung, MD/PhD is a licensed doubly board-certified

>> USA.  His signature contains a link to http://www.heartmdphd.com,
>> which is consistent with his posts and qualifications.

>> 2. What is the Charter of s.m.c.?
>> ----------------------------------
>> The purpose of this newsgroup is to establish electronic media for
>> communication between health care providers, scientists and other
>> individuals with interest in the cardiovascular field.  Such
>> communications will provide quick and efficacious means to exchange
>> information and knowledge, and offer problems to solutions.

>> The sci.med.cardiology newsgroup will welcome participants who are
>> health care providers, trainees, researchers, students or recipients
>> with interest in the field of cardiovascular problems."

>> (ftp://ftp.uu.net/usenet/news.announce.newgroups/sci/sci.med.cardiology)

>> 3. Aren't Christian discussions covered by the charter?
>> --------------------------------------------------------
>> They are if these discussions represent "communication between health
>> care providers, scientists and other individuals with interest in the
>> cardiovascular field."  It should be noted that Christ remains a
>> healthcare provider (http://www.heartmdphd.com/healer.asp), who has
>> demonstrated an interest in the cardiovascular field when He
>> "resuscitated" Lazarus.

>> 4. So Dr. Chung is Christian... What's the problem with that?
>> --------------------------------------------------------------
>> Some people are fiercely anti-christian.

>> 5. But it's just a little "tag line" in his signature, isn't it?
>> -------------------------------------------------------
>> Yes it is.  But it offends those who are anti-christian.

>> 6. But I'm a Christian too! Should I worry?
>> ----------------------------
>> No.  You have Christ's promise of eternal life and the unimaginable
>> riches of God's kingdom.

>> 7. Well, why not just ignore his Christian nature?
>> --------------------------------------------------
>> Anti-christians are unable to do that.

>> 8. But isn't it wonderful that Dr. Chung offers this free medical
>> information out of the goodness of his heart?
>> ----------------------------------------------------------
>> God is wonderful.

>> 9. How does a practicing physician have so much time to spend on Usenet?
>> ------------------------------------------------------------------
>> God makes time for those whom He blesses.

>> 10. Won't challenging Dr. Chung drive people away?
>> --------------------------------------------------
>> Do not concern yourself with the free will of others.

>> 11. Doesn't the "fault" for all those posts lay with those who
>> challenge Dr. Chung?
>> --------------------------------------------------------------
>> God uses anti-christians for His purposes.  These posts are according
>> to His will.

>> 12. Why do I see so many "ad hominem" attacks?
>> ----------------------------------------------
>> This is how anti-christian folks are identified so they can be culled
>> from His flock.

>> 13. I'm sick of seeing all this!
>>  -------------------------------

>> ----------------------------------------------
>> See: http://www.heartmdphd.com/wtloss.asp

>> leads to higher rates of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.

>> ----------------------
>> To serve God's will and purpose.

>> -------------------------
>> To serve God's will and purpose.

>> 20. Who is Bob?

>> (http://www.heartmdphd.com/libel.asp)

>> 21. What is Bob's role?
>> ----------------------
>> To serve God's will and purpose.

>> 22. Who is Stephen?
>> -------------------
>> An anti-christian Jew who believes that "Jesus is no more the Messiah
>> than Elvis Presley" (http://makeashorterlink.com/?J1B623B67). He is so
>> obsessively drawn to Dr. Chung's Christian beliefs that he is now a
>> cyberstalker (http://makeashorterlink.com/?Y25611B67) by his own
>> admitted actions.

>> 23. What is Stephen's role?
