On UseNet please use actual words not texting mutations.  We're old
fashioned when it comes to writing.  UseNet doesn't just pre-date
texting, it predates any e-mail system currently in use and it predates
connection to the Internet.  Sort of like when Obi Wan Kenobi in Star
Wars described his light saber - It's a tool from a more civilized age
... ;^)

Not so civilized that you need to post in the Latin of Caesar or the
French of Napolean.  The Lingua Franca of UseNet is the English of
"Leave It To Beaver". "Gosh, Wally. How did it work out that way?"

Ah, the old white cover book without "New" in its title.  DADR - Doctor
Atkins Diet Revolution.  One of the classics of the field.  On the one
hand it is the book that makes it explicit that the Atkins process is
about being in or out of ketosis so CCLL uses in and out of ketosis not
week to week loss rates.  On the other hand the book's description of
the maitnenance phase is so brief and so lame that version of the plan
can be accurately descibed as a fad diet for its lack of maintenance.

My favorite recipe title in that edition is "Cheesecake that is illegal
but not immoral".  Gosh Wally, where can I find some liquid cyclamate
drops?  The last time I drove through Canada I looked in a grocery store
but could not find any.

Pot roast.  Get a tough cut.  Cook it slowly until it turns soft.  Serve
to the admiring crowd.  Bluebrooke already posted that it isn't listed
as Italian.
