I agree completely. However, I can also see Mike's point. This is why,
before I posted my pyramid experiments, I asked the list if anyone had an
objection. I never got one, only requests for the info, so I went ahead and
posted it. It was slightly on topic as someone was wondering about making
CS in  a pyramid which I thought was a fascinating idea. It's possible you
could wind up with something quite out of the ordinary. But unless that was
obvious, it might take expensive special equipment to know for sure.

I will regrettably say that when it came to "on" versus "off" topic posts,
that when I posted on 7/27 entitled "Confused", which was completely on
topic, that I got very little response and was sorely disappointed as so
much has been written in the past regarding whether or not silver does
indeed make it's way to the colon or not (and once it gets there (IF it
gets there) whether or not it's still viable. Marshall seems to think that
it "is not very effective in a solid medium") Now that I have a really good
reason to question this "fact" in regards to my precarious health
situation, I find that most people on this list chose to clam up.

However by comparison, I got a lot of responses to the mostly off topic
pyramid post.

I am very fond of this list and the people on it. Most of the time I get a
good response to anything I post so I will have to assume others are just
as "Confused" as I. So, hey, I'm not complaining. If anyone had an answer
or idea for me I'm sure it would have been posted.

We probably should try to stick as closely as we can to the CS topic.
However, I don't believe it is always possible. We're all here because of
health problems, if not our own, then someone else's, and we just like to
try to help others. Health problems are many and varied and so are the
answers to these problems. As we all know, CS is not a cureall and many
times when a person is looking for something to help them, CS may be one of
many items to be tried. What works for one may be different than what works
for another.

MSM is a case in point. This supplement is off topic, no question. However,
because of it's nature it seems to greatly assist in the assimilation of
CS. So to me that means we can't get too darn specialized here. Everything
in the human body works in synergy and so do the items we consume to aid in
the cure of disease. CS will never be able to completely stand alone as a
remedy and therefore neither will our list discussions.

Personally, I'm very happy with the direction the posts have been taking
but if you think, Mike, that we should tone the off topics down a little
then you will have my cooperation. In that vein, I apologize for the direct
posting of the pyramid experiments. In the future, to respect your wishes,
for anything off topic I'll post privately.
