Dear Bob:
http://makeashorterlink.com/?P2264129A
The way to the truth is straight and narrow:
http://makeashorterlink.com/?A2642108A
You will remain in my prayers, dear Bob whom I love, in Lord Christ's
holy name.
May you reject your pride and accept Him as your personal Lord and
Savior, someday, so that you too will have eternal life and the
fascinating riches of His everlasting kingdom.
Here's how:

Please note that God truly made this special link describing that He is
the great "I am" and that His message is as simple as the number 2 which
is a number between 1 to 9 and reminds us of His 2 commandments, the 2
arms of the cross, the 2nd part of the Trinity, the 2 finger sign of the
Prince of Peace [who remains *V*ictorious over death and satan], and the
2PD-OMER Approach. Let it not ever be written that Christ did not make
His presence known here on Usenet :-)
Also, note that Exodus 16:16 continues to remind us that 16 oz plus 16
oz makes 2 pounds, which is "a certain measure of weight," which is what
"omer" literally means in Hebrew.
Enter the 2PD-OMER Approach, which can "cure" metabolic syndrome (MetS)
thereby bringing this thread back on topic in these NGs :-)

*they* regularly consume.Your deliberate choice to use "regular" to mean "not novel" and refer to
the 2 pound *diet* is a shabby way to try to get around what it really

stuff before and after. Food and drink regularly consumed is exactly
what Chung says - just less of it.Quoted message said:Quoted message said:>Remember this is a medical definition here so you

Like you represent anything even remotely authoritative either about
medicine or logic or English.The simple fact of the matter is that all three elements of that
definition fit like aQuoted message said:Quoted message said:>>>>It does not meet #2 because of "habitual". If people habitually

>therefore the Approach is not a diet per definition 3. QED.Save your QED's for when you actually demonstrate somehting. The diet
has two major components - continue eating as before - speficied for
each individual - and limit it to 2 pounds. BOth what and how much all
laid out.Quoted message said:Quoted message said:So what about Atkins? According to you that wouldn't be a diet either as
it restricts only the kind and not the amount of what people eat.So maybe you don't have diet until you dovetail Atkins with 2PD-OMER.
I think Dr. Chung has suggested this in the past.Sure. He also "suggests" that an omer is 2 pounds. Guarantees
credibility and resoect for those "suggestions."Quoted message said:Quoted message said:However, most people will probably prefer to call Atkins aproach a diet,
so it seems that your usage of language is unusual.That's a nice way to say ignorant and self-serving.
Quoted message said:Your should take up your issue with the publishers of the above cited
dictionary, not me. It is their definition, not mine.And it nails your feeble ass to the wall. Learn to read.
Quoted message said:I am merely
applying their definition in our context. I did choose which
dictionary to use - a medical one - as that seems most appropriate for
this group.And skewered you dead to rights.
Quoted message said:Obviously, in common parlance, the word 'diet' can mean
any number of things depending on the context.And, as here with the full endorsement of a medical dictionary, it means
that the wacko 2PD remains a wacko *diet* and demolishes your flaccid
efforts to draw fire from sockmaster Chung.Nice try, "John." Bwah...
