Anthony, yes, I could but I don't kill file people insult me I just write
back and then move on, you never know when they may have something
interesting and useful to say

From before 1300 a 'get' was what had been begotten, a child or offspring.
By about 1500 it had started to be used in Scotland and northern England in
the sense of misbegotten, a *******; from there it became a general term of
abuse for a fool or idiot. By about 1700 'get' seems to have lapsed into
slang or dialect, only to reappear in the wider language in the 1940's.
James Joyce uses the older spelling (and meaning) in Ulysses in 1922: ?The
bloody thicklugged sons of whores? gets!?

And not looking for a miracle cure, but details of a study done, I have this
lovely possibility of a hereditry steam train coming at me and to that end
was asking for information, how I ask is up to me I don't need to give my
full family history and don't expect to be insulted in return.

Sorry but someone insults me they get it right back

Original post
Father has altzheimers
Searching for info on peripheral lobe damage (caused by blockage of
arteries)
Mentioned a study, and as my post says it was also mentions alzheimers but
can't remember in which context
Yes I mentioned my sedentary life style, that still doesn't give anyone the
right to insult me.

Where in my post did I try to sell something, try to declare a "miracle
cure". I mentioned a real study even backed it up with some of the details
of it hoping that anyone else had seen it.

I know I have a sedentary life style, and unhealthy diet. For the
justification that appears to be needed to post and ask a question here it
is

Ex Smoker, ceased 3 years ago but still using the gum up to last month,
While beating the smoking habit, put all concentration onto that, including
stuffing face, 2 stone to loose
Now that the worst is past and have given the gum up now looking at making
other changes
Starting with shifting my diet to a healthier one, eating 2 portion of veg
with each meal, and 3 pieces of fruit a day
Next step is to exercise properly, once my knee has healed from ripping the
tendons, popping the cartilage and dislocating the patella

Meanwhile arteries still have the damage done by the past 20 odd years of
abuse so not looking for a miracle cure but information on a real study with
real people and to look more into it because there is a good chance I will
need it later.

I for one don't care if it classed as a scientific miracle at the end of the
day, so was penacillan, smallpox and other drugs and treatments. There may
be a genetic predisposition to dementia in the family with 3 direct
descendants (which may just a blip and totally unrelated), but the thought
of this while having to be sedated all the time to stop me beating the crap
out of people because I don't have the frontal lobe to control my behaviour,
walking around like a zombie because of the sedation required and is one
more thing I would rather go without. So of course I am interested in any
study that can help clear these arteries in the future. So suggest that
others hold their horses and don't start arguments or insult people. If they
don't like it, hangfire and don't reply.

If spam is a problem do what I do and almost everyone else I know - and they
as well as myself being in IT (as a few posters here will also be so will
know what I am on about) have tried all the tricks of the trade to beat spam
on - ignore it, there is nothing you can do about it, don't reply, the
original posters don't follow up so won't see any witty repartee or stinging
comments, remember they send to thousands if not tens of thousands of
addresses at once also using false sending details, take the cash and move
on so won't come running back to see what people are saying, they don't
care, they don't even know where they sent it to or if it got through spam
filters or not on the way.

I'm sorry but if you look at this in the context of other areas of social
interaction, the pub, club, round friends houses, if one insulted the other.
Would you sit on the fence and let them insult you or would you tell the one
insulting that they had overstepped the bounds of common courtesy.

I accept that you vouch that Tumbleweed is decent person, but I don't know
her, just as she doesn't know me. I wrote what I thought was a polite post
and only expect that back in return. If not then................
