Hi Jan
You were right. I didn't understand the last post either. I have not been on Kickas very long but I have gathered that it is rather tribal. You must be from that other Main Forum tribe. You can see the problem in communicating. It's the difference in dialect. I have visited your forum to try to pick up some of the language but it didn't work. I did learn, though, that Cheryl's mum is home and Jo's just had a birthday so the visit wasn't wasted.
You write about this forum that "..there are (far too) many ppl here who are anti-diet ..". A forum for a diet being frequented by those who are anti-diet. It just goes to show how contrary people are. There's a terrific site I know for baroque music, if it weren't for all those rap fans who get on it.
As I observe this thread (I'm getting to use these words like 'post' and 'thread' like a real veteran now), apart from those many anti-diet people you refer to, the contributors fall into the following categories -
- NSD / LSD enthusiasts
- Those who haven't had success with the diet but are still trying
- Some who haven't tried it but think it seems like a good idea and would try it if only ....
- Members of the other tribe whom no-one can understand.
- People of eminence (there are lots of these), who speak loftily and with great authority on such arcane subjects as yersiniosis, musins, glycoproteins, giardiasis, shigellosis (and they're just the easy ones), which people from your tribe wouldn't understand. They cruise the seas of the forum searching out the poor lost souls like me, struggling with our affliction and floundering in our ignorance and gently guide us to sheltered waters, from the starch-ridden darkness to NSD light, and patiently lead us to the path of truth and er.. joy and happiness.
On a serious note, I have no idea what proportion of non-responders there would be. But I think it is just as arrogant to dismiss everyone who says they have tried diet and it doesn't work as it is for the medical profession to dismiss LSD/NSD enthusiasts like you and me.
I'm glad to hear you have improved so much on the diet and hope you are not too offended at my attempts at humour.
Wally
