Here's one to keep:

Who cares what Dan Volker weighs? There are probably many of us who could
lose a few pounds. At least he's trying to do something about it. What
pisses me off is George and the Spam Brigade's deliberate prostitution of
the WKPP's undeniable dive record and their not-so-subtle suggestions that
you can be a "man" if you take their drugs. Possibly even become a member
of their "master-race".

The problem with taking "vitamins" as drugs, is not (as G4 privately
e-mailed to me) that they are placebos, but that they may well have
profound and serious effects on the users' long term health. Bad effects!
Confusing the genuine benefits of a strong exercise program with voodoo
pill-craft doesn't "enhance" anything except the egos and wallet sizes of
the quacks doing the pushing.

Give it up George. It isn't worthy of the ideals or sport you are trying to
advance and it'll bite you in the ass, if that's not happened already.
