<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> My better judgment tells me I should stay out of this, but never being one to pay that much attention to my better judgment... I want to briefly comment on Fran Gillespie's post re. Don Kasarda's private post to her. Since Fran felt comfortable sharing the post with the list I guess it is fair game to comment. Much as I respect Fran's point of view, which I know is shared by many individuals on the list who are acutely sensitive to gluten, I also see great value in getting input from individuals like Don who often have a different, and instructive (for me, at any rate), perspective. Several times lately when Don has injected a more toned down approach to an issue I have noted responses shooting him down. I would like Don to know that there are those of us on the list who truly appreciate his input. I find great value in Don's postings, and particularly appreciate the fact that an individual who does not have celiac disease is willing to put so much time and effort into providing information to the group. Don, please keep sharing your thoughts with us. I, for one, look forward to hearing your view on many of the points of discussion on this list. Can't get much hotter than it is here in Texas!
