Top posting issues aside, you have no idea what it takes to make "good
science" or "to be accepted for publication in any even simi peer reviewed
science publication". Sentence structure alone pegs you as college
challenged much less doctorate qualified. No doctorate? No qualifications.

===============================================

I have made up my mind, your childish attempt to save face is the cause of
pity for you.  You know well how trivial the tiny point is that you have
gone to great lenghts to try to salvage.  If i see a group of people jump
off a bridge then everyone jumped and the data supports the observation
that all jumped.  I have data and a description of what happened; walla I
have science.  As for the diet.  any constraint made on calorie intake
below what is needed to maintain metabolisim etc. will result in weight
loss.  One can use weight  of food as the constraint, one can use total
volume such as x cups per day of food, one can use time to consume such as
x number of minutes to eat; the list can be quite long in fact.  That is
the height and breath and content of your diet and "everyone" - there's
that data again - who gives it a look sees that.  Your whole foot stamping
below about what I have said about your diet is putting words in my mouth
and this is a form of false witness.  

I'm sorry for you for the blindsiding life gave you and I do understand
why maintaining face and supporting trivial points of word play now seem
inportant to you.  It's time for you to move on and accept your
limitations.  One obvious place to start is a bit of humility and dropping
the mask of "authority" you crave to cause others to see in you.  When you
are ready to be a real man, then the information you know can then be put
to some good use, and the light of God will really ahve some chance to
shine through you.

I tend to edit and proof read in direct proportion to the respect accorded
the person to whom I 'm responding, it it's a matter of a waste of time ya
know.  I participate in an academic malinglist where almost all
participants are faculty with degrees up the gazoo and with many years of
research experience.  Not one of them adds, either fore or aft, any of the
alphabet to their names.  It is in one sense a matter of poor taste and to
do so would suggest that a poster needed it to punch up their standing in
some way and/or lacked something in their image of self or in possible
judgement from others.  Andrew did a trivial observation trial and error
thing and made a big point of it as though serious research.  The latter
is judged by concensus of what it is in the scientific community and not
his forced self definition of same.  All the letters he wants to use, and
never fails to do so in absurdum, does not rescyue him from this reality
but does speak much of his current state.  A s said, a more proper reason
for pity then humor upon reflection.  It is clear he counts dearly upon
readers in newsgroups not knowing the difference, sorry to bring reality
into the discussion.

Is there a better example of pot calling kettle black then could be found.  
Good to see you have learned about web resources to find poosting sources.  
Of course you hide behind mutiple names and a third party newsgroup
service to obscure your posting origin.  In which case mr. hyde, of the
daring duo dr. jeckle and mr. hyde, will serve no doubt.  The dr. half of
the duo also uses such tactics to obscure his posting origins.  That is
part of what those services sell.  Call me as you wish, if "everyone"
cares, now that is data ya know.
