It pushes my buttons also.

I got a similar response on an earlier attempt to bring it up there. Jr said

at least a year.

Please post any response that you get from Frank to the raw-food list. I already
knew that at least two of the first chapters in the first edition of Raw Power
were word for word copies of Dr Bernarr's writings that he has been sending out
for years and has on his web site.

I saw Dr Bernarr yesterday. He said that he did not give any permissions to NFL
or Steve Arlin to copy his writings. Possibly Dr. Bernarr will comment on this
