That would be fine, if we were debating scholarly findings.  But to have to
continually justify the basic principles of paleo eating, when this is by
definition a paleo eating *support* list, is wearying in the extreme.

I value Wally's contributions to this list, and always find them on target
and very helpful.  We all have different communication styles; yours may
rub other people the wrong way (I know several folks on this list who
characterize your style as "brusque")---but I'll bet I know your reaction
if someone said they wished *you* would go away: you'd resolutely stand
your ground, wouldn't you?  And so you should.  I think Wally should do the
very same.  In fact, I wish he would post more often.
