This place as almost all places on the Usenet deteriorated to the point of not worth participating.

It is BORING. So I'll be checking in here, but I'll post sparingly, giving myself more time to look at other information that I may find helpful.
Good luck all.

.....Do you hear the pin dropiping as we wait for someone to care? I find it utterly amusing that someone who lurks in a group feels the need to tell everyone they are leaving the group.

they only do it because they're attention [censored].
I told everyone I was leaving the group and I'm about as far from an "attention [censored]" as you can get. While I like some of the information provided on this group, the amount of BS is very high.
no, you're not an attention [censored]. you are a good guy who gets annoyed, and i don't blame you for that. you posted your goodbye out of frustration. the group is basically [censored] anymore, and has been for quite a while.
but perdu's post, and posts like it, are generally designed not to say "buh-bye" to the group but to poke at festering wounds and create drama. i've seen it a million times since i started reading usenet, and i expect if i keep reading i'll see it a million more.
My problem is that I can't find a place, other than here, that discusses the unique characteristics of the low carb way of life. For instance, there are people here who bike on low carb. If you go to a biking group, you'll see that the vast majority of people believe that carbs and generally an extreme amount of carbs are necessary for biking. (Heck, I read a mag. that said you needed two to five grams of carbs for every pound of body weight -- and not lean weight, either -- to train for running a half marathon.) If I could find somewhere else that was filtered (or even if we could filter all crossposts), and that discussed this material, I'd gladly go there. BTW, did you ever get the chocolate?
I don't find it much different from life in general. The only arena of life that is different is one's relationships with friends, or family if one is able to write the objectionable members one may have out of their life. If you watch TV, work, join a church or social organization you are bound to encounter some irritating people. Learning to deal with them is a very important lesson needed to maintain one's mental health. When people freak out over something said on Usenet I wonder how they handle obnoxious people face to face.

You (or I should say we) could try to revive the Lowcarb Diet and Exercise List -- check it out in the FAQ.
It was a great source of information when I started out and when Lyle was in the process of doing research for his first book. There are still some very knowledgeable members on the list, but the traffic has really died down in the last few years. It was and is a fairly serious group and usually not a lot of trivial [censored]-n-tat sort of stuff.

I'm curious if there's anyone out there who's doing a low-carb and low-fat diet. Sometimes it's hard to balance the two and weigh loss doesnt seem to be as rapid as a strickly low carb diet, but i choose to moderate the amount of saturated fats i eat.

Why would one do that (moderate saturated fat intake)?
