Thank you Alex.  
I am very concerned about the integrity of your list when an individual zelot brings up personal and professional information about me.  I am here because of a medical condition.  I should not call someone a nut job, so I apologize to him.  However, Mr. Lowery's response, where he calls me computer illiterate, and brings in my professional work tend to reinforce my feeling that this individual wants to impose his beliefs here.  With this I promise no further off topic corrispondance.  Thanks again for all you work on our behalf.

Thank you for the recipes, Gerry.
Dairy-free, whether vegan or not, is what this list is about.

Now this, and the rest of your post, is explicitly off topic.
It does not matter whether we agree with your points or not, they have nothing
to do with milk avoidance and therefore do not belong on this mailing list.

A commonly accepted compromise is to put a link in your signature. That way,
people that are interested in the subject can go there and those that are not
can still benefit from your posted recipes without distraction.  You already
have the link in the subject, it is more obtrusive and less convenient (not
clickable) but can work as well (it even makes your posts easier to filter out)

So here's the deal: you will respect the list members by restricting your
evangelism to more appropriate channels and I will respect your beliefs by not
waxing poetic about my BBQ.  Agreed?

Regards,
Alex.


PS, to bring this back on topic:

At the age of 11, my daughter has finally stopped reacting to diary and raw
eggs. What worked for us was strict avoidance, even a couple of years after both
skin and blood tests came negative (she used to react on touch) but YMMV. She
still reacts strongly to tree nuts and the allergist says it is most likely for
life.

On the other hand, my son (7) was diagnosed with lactose intolerance so dairy
restrictions are still in effect.
