>Stefan: >Kirt, it seems that you are jumping in in the last weeks only for having >a cheap joke at the expense of others and to write something negative >about instinctive eating. :-( Well, if that is your mood again - nega- >tive and depressive - then I wish you'll recover soon. Now, now, Stefan, here we go again. I make a few sarcastic jokes and I am therefore negative and depressive. ;) Perhaps some of the humor is getting lost in the translation. Yet my "views" on stop tricks hasn't changed since the last time we had a similar thread some months (a year?) ago. Perhaps you'll just have to get used to me offending the instincto Gods once in a while, eh? And in my own defense, my last posts have been a thank you, a bit about spam, a "yes, I am reading you" to JL, a bonus guru story, a messed up NFL plagiarism post, musings about the origins and possible utility of cooking, my experience with coconuts, a question about the politics of the next "SF-Life" Expo, etc etc. Doesn't sound at all to me like cheap jokes or negativity. Perhaps there's nothing worse than an ex-instincto around questioning tidbits like tumors and the utility and deeper meanings of fruit skin consumption, but, golly gee Ms Molly, negative and depressive? You're off by a mile, or a kilometer at least ;) Cheers, Kirt PS--Mike, I am enjoying your experiencial posts greatly--thanks for sharing.
