- Chuck, Rena doesn't participate on sci.med nor is she on the net, so
- she isn't under even the most informal obligation to give you the time

- Sheesh. Does it even cross your mind that if you come off as a
- blithering crank here on the net, that the figure you cut out in the
- real world when you send out "Adiposity 101" to obesity researchers
- might not be very collegial?

- You mean "the obesity research which tells me what I want to hear."
