  Now don't take this personally.  I'm really mad about this and 
  have lost all control, so please don't hold me responsible until
  after this episode has subsided.



Really,
  Before you say anything in net.med that is intended as information
  you should at least be qualified first.  Have you ever heard of 
  Biochemistry, the Krebs Cycle?  Have you ever had a Biology course 
  before? in a college? in high school?  in grammer school?

  I would like to think that this news group could be a source of GOOD
  information and discussion about current topics in medicine.
  IF YOU DON'T KNOW SOMETHING, ASK.  MAYBE SOMEBODY KNOWS AN ANSWER,
  AT LEAST A REASONABLE ANSWER.

  JUST DON'T TAKE A POSITION OF AUTHORITY IN THIS NEWS GROUP UNLESS YOU 
  KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT.

 "Nutrition Puzzle Solved" was and still is the biggest bag of garbage 
  I have ever read.
