Marsha: If it wasn't for the "more power boys" - you wouldn't HAVE your precious colloidal silver. This isn't Tool Time here.
The newbies coming onto the list DO get one thing from these discussions, if only one thing - and that is, that there are serious and incredibly qualified people who have been working with colloidal silver research for a long time. That's one of the FIRST things that set my mind at ease when I first joined this list. That's a good thing. When I first began my view into CS research, it's lucky the first thing I came across was Peter Lindemann's essay. My subsequent searches turned up alot of information that would have just as easily led me to say, "yea right, not a chance in the world..." On many of these websites, I half expect a line that says something like this: "Simply place two silver rods in your mouth, dunk your hands in some saline solution, and plug your two middle fingers into the wall socket. Instant Colloidal Silver! Don't forget to stick a lightbulb in your ear!" People who are not normally subject to scientific "inquiry" and debate get a chance to see that science as a human endevour ( this isn't limited to colloidal silver ) is not as absolute as science often likes to present itself as being. Growth comes from challenging ideas and clear thinking. A group setting is excellent for both of these things. There are many alt-med lists that have nowhere NEAR this kind of dynamic interaction. The basic stuff doesn't always work. "Let's keep it at that" might be an excellent personal choice for some to make. I suppose there are several different "types" of people concerning this. Some people, when whatever it is doesn't work, just throw it away and by a new one ( yet again in our case this doesn't help anybody, because you could be throwing away your life ). Some people pop it open and jury rig it with toothpicks and paperclips. Some people get a trite irritated, break it all down, redesign it, and thus make everyone's life the better. I'm a TRUE free speech advocate myself, with the following qualifiers: One respects the realm in which one enters into. One doesn't go into a Speaker's Club meeting and get upset when you find out your demand to play the violin is not met well! An vice versa, one doesn't go into a Speakers meeting and and insist that a jazz band would liven up the room. Personally, I have over twelve email addresses, one of which accumulates over two hundred messages each daily. I'm not interested in 99.9% of the subject matter on some other lists. But it's well worth that .1% that applies to what I am doing and what I am interested in. Occasionally, I'll see something which I can add to, thus possibly assist JUST ONE other human being to get where they most need to go. If one doesn't have time in a given day to scrutinize emails, one can simply mass delete messages after scanning headers with two clicks and a keystroke. If a list group starts to interefere with personal emails, or the traffic becomes too high, I simply open another hotmail account, add it to my outlook express 2000 accounts so I don't have to check the email via a web-interface. I archive a lot of data for future reference. ----- Original Message ----- From: Marsha Hallett <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, March 23, 2001 7:05 AM Subject: Re: CS>Annoying More Power Boys > > Dear Beverle, Good for you!
