I have decided to quit this newsgroup due to the nauseous
trolling of Martin W Smith. He will no doubt shout,as
usual, 'victory is mine'. Well,
Mr.Smith, you really are a sad case if you consider it
victory to end up with no one who will talk to you.
Perhaps that's why he spends so much

time

Don't leave just because of him. There are trolls like him
in ALL newsgroups. they are people whom are idiots, and
people who know it all.

Do what i do when i see them. ignore or fuel them.

Ignoring them is good, because they are useless.

Fueling them will alow their blood pressure to rise, just a
bit. more the merrier.

Enjoy you swimming, and stay and enjoy our company.

We all are not trolls.

Micheal

Victory is his.

I like Martin. yes, i've argued with him too, but i find him
to be generally informative, and a good contributor to the
group. If he's a bit long-winded in terms of trying to get
the last word, who cares? if thats what bothers you, i don't
know *which* group you'll find a home in.

Oh, that reminds me, I had him KF'd for quite a while now.
Much nicer that way.

How nice, a thread of my Usenet pet peeves.

1. People threatening to leave because of another,
named poster.
2. People posting Usenet messages accusing other posters of
not having lives or real friends, the evidence being
their posting messages to Usenet.
3. People begging people threatening to leave to stay,
telling them that the guy making them leave is a jerk,
but not to let the jerks win.
4. People flaunting their kill files or *plonk*ing, claiming
intellectual superiority.

You don't like someone? Fine, killfile him or her and
shut up about
it. Where's the catch? You wanna hang out with your real
friends instead of wasting your time with Usenet losers?
Fine, stop reading/posting, but don't blame it on
someone else, turning it into martyrdom.

On top of all that, when's the last time you heard of
someone "leaving" and actually following through with any
longevity? It's a saber rattling exercise - a fairly
successful one in this instance, given the inevitable,
predictable, almost choreographed responses you cited above.

I'm sorry, your pet peeves are not my concern. You'll have
to find a way to deal with them on your own, without my
consideration.

Do you mean you are leaving too?

Did you hear about the latest Atkins study? Though comparing
well to low fat diets at 6 months, by 12 months they had
gained the difference back.

I thank you from the bottom of my heart! One less idiot to
worry about. Now if only Martin would follow your good
example, this group would be a winner!

Thanks again! There was some good in you after all!

Actually, I'm 6' 2" (188 cm) and way 198 lbs (90 kg).

This might be OK for swimming, but I'm sure you will suffer
in your 165km bike race. Especially if some mountains /
hills are there...

He'd be great on the downhilling!

If you optimize your body for running or cycling, you're
hurting yourself for other life endeavors. Being 6', 155lbs
just isn't a versatile build. It's not as bad as the ice
speed skaters - all thigh and nothing else - but it's not
the right course for most.

I'd be more concerned about the fact that he's been training
for a century while doing Atkins. That can't be a recipe for
success. Endurance athletes need carbs.

The early studies showed the same thing. Obviously, if you
like high glycemic foods and you tend to carry extra weight,
then when you eat high glycemic foods you will gain weight.
I have the same problem. I really like cookies, and no
matter how much weight I lose on any diet, I will still
really like cookies. To crib a line from AA: "It is cookie-
ism, not cookie-wasm." If you like cookies, you never stop
liking cookies.

But that says nothing about low carb dieting. Low carb
dieting works. That's why I'm doing it again. Except that
I'm not doing it this week because I have a 165km bike race
on Sunday.
