Gay -- A year ago I would have vehemently disagreed with Steve's  position.  
In fact, I did disagree.  Now, however, I have changed my  mind again. With 
all of the bogus charletons out there, like glove-man and  the sales dude who 
had the glitzy web site....its too easy for people to be  misled with FF voodoo. 
We've spent months arguing about how to use weight  control, to the point 
that some people are now being censored.  Today we  are told that there never was 
an issue in the first  place. Unfortunately the lost birds tell a different 
story.  

We can expect a series of opportunists to surface and test  the waters here.  
As a list, we have been poor at building enough of a  knowledge base to 
empower listers to see through the smoke and  mirrors. Without a strong credibility 
compass to guide us, each  snake-oil saleman will make hay here.  

In light of all of that, I think Steve's position is probably very  
responsible.
