I had my first thousand miles before you were born--Morgans--and another 
100,000 sitting behind Standarbreds every day, 8-10 per day, for five years. 
Again, before you ever put a foot in a stirrup. While my body has been used 
hard and put up wet for a little too long, my mind still functions well 
enough to sort bullshit from reality.

I come "biased" from 30 or 40 sports. My definition of "bias" is non-thinking 
tunnel vision--one religion or another. I have no religion. But if someone 
wants to argue with me on a specific subject, as in the case of the fixation 
with the horrors of carbohydrate, then I'm happy to play, right down to the 
wire.

Happy to have stirred you from your slumber.

 opinion no longer holds any interest to me>

Since I have seen no opinions, or thoughts, from you on the subjects being 
discussed, I'm sorry that I can't reciprocate. Do you have anything useful to 
contribute on these subjects? Or are you simply content with the occasional 
statement of moral indignation and self-righteous outrage?
 
 >I also feel you owe this list an apology.>

That'll be the day.
