Re: [PRIVATE] [low carb diet]

[Guest guest]

Susie, dear, could you lighten up just a little? I know how passionate you

are, and I really appreciate your concern, however 1 post rather than 3 in a

row to Bill on the same subject, please?? This isn't a low carb list, and I

hate to lose some folks for that reason. They are big boys and are making

their own choices. I feel it's up to us to share our experience and

knowledge, but it's not up to us to make anyone change their mind about

their own way of doing things.

Thanks bunches,

Barb,
