Colin Campbell - 20 Feb 2005 18:02 GMT
Well, my tour in Iraq is over.  I am currently at Fort Lewis, WA and
start processing off of active duty on Tuesday.

I expect to be home sometime in the next 7 to 10 days.

I notice the air cleaner people are back - and just as annoying as
ever.

Welcome back Colin!  I'm glad that you are safe and well.  One of the guys
who works for me just got back from Afghanistan and is enjoying his
adjustment back to civilian life (although it will probably be temporary--he
did a tour in Bosnia last year, and there's always Iraq...).

I am the person who points pout that the best method of improving
indoor air quality is to remove the source of the contamination.

Air filtration is the least effective method.  Even with air
filtration that meets the Military Standard 282(?) there are no
studies (at least as of a year ago) that conclusively state that it is
effective for people with allergies/asthma.

Yeah, buddy. It's like those air freshener commercials I see.
I keep talking back to the woman who complains about her
daughter's stinky laundry, "Wash her clothes!" Same with the
bathroom airfresheners. It is on this general principle that I
have no wall-to-wall carpeting and few draperies in my house.
Makes it easier to clean.

Colin.....I agree air cleaner is not the best method.......UV AIR sterilizer
is

read this you will find this interesting facts from DoD I just placed 1 link
which is unclassified.

http://www.defenselink.mil/transcripts/2003/t03032003_t0303chembio.html

and this is the results I got from DOD

Searched 10,880,168 pages for uv germicidal ------ most unclassified
www.dod.gov

you can verify yourself.......and since you have security clearance you can
view some of the Classifieds too....if you need more I got some from US
ARMY, US NAVY, USAF, etc...and about 500 in http://www.dhs.gov/dhspublic/ 
so far

and if you require one.......let me know I have them at a cheaper
price...and if you find someone cheaper let me know so I can push that
instead of mine.........

YES it is time to work together instead of against each other.......good
jobs are disappearing......My products are made by Americans, Materials by
Americans, sold by an American and sold in a Quality Americana Way,
stereotyped in Grand Americana way and criticized & burned at the stake by
the old Americana way (witch hunt)........and .....well.......... GOD BLESS
AMERICA

Wrong.  

I take it you have had no actual training in indoor air quality other
than the promotional materials for your product.

There is no reason for information of air cleaning to be placed on
Sipernet.

Colin,

Yeah, but one thing has probably changed. I think Richard actually managed
to get rid of the B folks! By siding with them, no less! They have missed
the last few times to jump in when the subject comes up. Well, I hope that
lasts as I am sure you do.

COLIN!!

Thank the Good Lord, the Voice of Reason has returned!!.  I don't know
what I prayed for harder, your safe return, or the return of your
bullshit barometer for this group (OK, yeah, the safe return!).  You
have NO IDEA what it was like without you here!!

Now maybe we can get back to discussing asthma and treatments and not
this insanity that has been going in in here.

Finally!

My backbone is as good as ever.  The reason that there have been few
posts from me is because there were no serious discussions going on.  It
was all sniping and trolling and name calling.  I could go to my
nephew's third grade class and hear more intelligent conversation.
Every time someone has an opinion, there are 5 posts ready to tear that
person and opinion to shreds.  So what is the point?  There isn't any
meaningful discussion, so why even bother?

I'm sincerely hoping that this will change.  This has always been an
informative group, even when we were inundated by the B* lunatics and
the insane ozone salesmen.  We used to save our best flames for them,
not each other.

Have you ever considered beginning a "serious discussion?" Why are you
so passive?

The last thing I am Mary, is passive.  Why would I bring up a serious
topic when it is more than obvious that it will not get any serious
consideration.  I've been part of this group for a long time, made
several contributions and asked a hell of a lot of questions.  There has
never been a time in this group, since I have been here, that flame wars
erupt over the most innocent of questions.

So the answer to your question is no.  After seeing the amount of
garbage thrown around here in the last few months, it would have been
fruitless.  The good old-timers are still here (in length of time in the
group, not in age) like CBI, Jack, and now Colin is back.  There is hope
that sharing information will start again.  Like I said, I have gotten
the answer to a great many questions here, and I would like to see this
group return to its former glory

I don't think that is totally true.  There have been changes the acceptance
of Dr Hahn's theory, which was at one time. most controversial. The group,
in its former glory was wrong.

And  no person can return the newsgroup to a former state when the behavior
of  newbie's has changed so dramatically. That is what I see as the
difference. No one seeks information anymore. They want to brow-beat us with
their opinion Witness BradChad,. Merlin, Joe, Polly, Mary. I usually wait
days before I resort to their tactics. Tell me why I should wait.

what is wrong with that..... "MISS always right never will accept change

c'mon joy chill out.......I am not sticking anything up your a55

embrace other opinion.....who knows you might benefit from that....

tactics....what tactics...?

it will go back to its glory.......if you just let other people present
their views.....share the newsgroup...share your TOY joy,  it will be
FUN......who knows we will crown you the alt.support.asthma newsgroup
queen........but you have to share the toy....

newbies?.......show them the way......if there are rules present it....just
like when you are teaching your children.........Gently......look at the
response......will never be harsh.....in-fact we will behave and listen

Tell me why I should wait...................?

patience...grasshopper...patience......PUBLIC NEWSGROUP.......patience

Joy,

About Dr. Hahn's theory, you are correct.  It affects a specific group
of asthmatics, as do most theories about asthma.  No treatment is good
for every person.  The information that you and NorthShore (I think it
was) shared about the antibiotics was wonderful, and I was hoping it
would also work on me, which, alas, it did not.  I think we spoke about
it once before, and if I remember correctly, you surmised that it seems
to help people with adult onset asthma more than those of us born with it.

As far as the others, those are the people I was speaking about, not
you.  Yes, you end up in the middle of it, but definitely not without
provocation.  That is one of the reasons I have largely remained a
lurker, which I never really did on this board.  It is very frustrating,
I know, to listen to people who don't have a clue about what they are
pontificating on, ramble on and on and on.  I know that, like you, I
would have ended up in the middle of it if I answered them.  That may
have been a passive approach as Mary suggests, but it was the best way
for me.  There are only so many times you hit your head against the wall.

I didn't mean that Colin would single handedly wave a magic wand and all
of those people would fade away.  I guess what I have always admired
about Colin was he could tell a scam and/or an idiot a mile away.  I can
remember reading posts in the past and wondering "Is this person for
real?" Usually Colin's reply post was right on the money, and nine times
out of ten exactly what I thought.  You weren't here for the Cell Salt
lady.  All I can say to that is "Oh my".  That was an experience, LOL.

Keep putting the good info out there Joy.  I'm going to do my best to
not get bogged down in the crap and stick with the good stuff.  Patience
in this instance, I think, does pay off.  They will fade eventually, and
 the people who want to and need to discuss real info on asthma will
stick around.

Thanks Nancy. I sometimes wonder how it is I keep ending up being the brunt
of all this name calling. I surely don't spare words in my distain of the B*
folks -I have gotten used to their usual responses. I have personal
experience with that method which, if I share my experience, results in the
worst behavoir! But lately, from being called a "moron" by Merlin, to
"bully, peon, and oxymoron" from Joe, and on and on in between those, I just
have lost patience. These people come in here and decide that is the way to
act. Like BradChad calling everyone lazy while he posted the same post over
and over and over again. I just think it is incredible that they think they
are going to attract anyone to their side. So like so many other regulars,
my killfile is getting filled.What if we decided to invite all Joe's
competitors to Spam us? Perhaps they would be more interested in selling
instead of resorting to name calling when asked to produce documentation.

I still think it is the way the new people act that is the problem though,
and don't see an end to it. I certain won't mind any help from Colin, but I
think there has been a change.

NEWSGROUP was and always be..... when first invented as the place to post
business Info.........it used to be called BBS........a place to discuss new
technology........

did you ever try BBS.........maybe not....you probably was still an
infant........

did not call names....you asked for it and I responded..........Public
Newsgroup......PUBLIC "news" group....I had NEWS and I posted in the Group
that need it.........that was public.....

all I did was hit two birds with one stone........"alternative product" and
"not drain your pocket"..........like the other competitors do.....they love
to drain pockets..

I have gotten used to their usual responses. I have personal

usual responses?........
experience with that type of method?......

well if you stop stereotyping people and treat them as individuals with
different point of views and with respect.........you will get the same
back............

if you attack........well I will defend......I am very tired of
bullies...been bullied once .......I know a bully when I see one.....

SPAM.....is for e-mail........unsolicited usually commercial E-mail sent to
a large number of addresses

so far since I have been here I have not seen any SPAM........

CAN the SPAM act....read on and educate yourself
http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c105:S.875:

did anyone here send bulk e-mail ......hmmm

These people come in here and decide that is the way to
> act................................
what way?.............where are the rules............
go to finishing school.......act like a Lady you will be respected as a
Lady............

act like a bully.........I will stand my ground....and defend my view....if
my views are wrong.....I will back down.....there is no need for me to push
false information.............

I just think it is incredible that they think they
> are going to attract anyone to their side................

what GANG wars.............attracting anyone to their side......we are
adults here.........you are in the wrong part of town joy.......

invite other competitors............................................
good......makes the price go even lower.......more money for you to enjoy
with your kids.....instead of spending TOP dollar on a same
technology.....or chemicals

name calling when asked to produce documentation........well you bombarded
other users with your Higher education highfalutin
language..........................................

just giving you a dose of your own medicine...................

produce documentation........................

go to FDA it is registered there.......as a Medical Device......go do your
own research.......

other readers "not the attack Dogs" if you need documentation....let me
know....woof

New people............?

yes with a Lot of information / experience to share...........but you do not
want to embrace changed..............you keep on pushing DRUGS aka chemicals
down everybody throat............

and the tone of your post.........it almost seems that you OWN this PUBLIC
NEWSGROUP

Chill out........learn the finer ways to treated with respect..........

Help from Colin ....I think she is a very respectable person.....who listens
and researches the TRUTH.......Not chemicals.....alone

She does not need your type of trouble yet.......she Just finished serving
her Country......"Thank you Colin"

I still think it is the way the new people act that is the problem though,
> and don't see an end to it.........................................

and you do not have a problem?..........chill out and see the natural
process.
........if you attack.....you will see defenses....

...........if you let go......the SPAM that you "think" will disappear
.....now remember your thoughts are different from other's, they may view
your SPAM as informative material.....

but please stop pushing Drugs/chemicals .......well unless you are holding
Stocks......

..........look for alternative...........try strawberries...or UV

I've been ignoring most of the postings for the last few weeks: they
