Wade, I agree with what you said. I have also learned a lot and had some
previous ideas challenged by reading what people have to say. It has
made me do a lot more research on nutrition than I ever thought I would
do. I have even opened up a dialog with my family doctor who is open to
"new" ideas that are not considered mainstream.

Without the thought provoking posts on this list, life would be boring!
I don't have to agree with everyone and don't expect to...but I respect
everyone's opinions because they are, for the most part, based on their
personal experience.

Oh...a note to Wade: loved the "editorial" about "sacred cows."

Subject: Re: Focus of Paleodiet List

From my experience with many lists, the paleodiet list is one of the
better
lists (by far) for being focused.  Thought the list may go a bit off
topic from
time to time, I think it has remained remarkably on topic.  I'm not sure
what
you mean by 'outright combat', by I enjoy 'lively discussion' :)  Though
I
think personal insults should be kept out of the debate, I think it is
appropriate in this list to say you think an IDEA is stupid and then
back it
up.  Respect should be given to the person, but here we have a
semi-public
forum of ideas.  I think most would agree with me that we shouldnt have
any
'sacred cows' (yum! :))
