This seems a totally unfair statement.  Dozens of people have been arguing
their viewpoint on weight in response to the one original question - I don't 
believe I have seen any new response from the original poster.  You should not
hold her responsible for other peoples e-mails.

BTW Mary - you now understand why I was so emotional in responding to your
post -not because there was anything wrong with asking a question which
was not brand new but because I knew from experience that this topic 
would generate this kind of response.  Thank goodness its friday and most
of us can get in the saddle and get needed doses of sanity soon.
