To expect that bunch of mental midgets to be anywhere near sensible is a ridiculously high expectation.

What amazes me is that the establishment press treats these mindless meanderings as if they were Holy Writ.

I'm not 100% sure I'm remembering the right post ...

Maybe some mod is a Pamela fan? Maybe Pamela complained?

Do we still have gremlins running loose in the system? If so, maybe the post will magically reappear.

I hope it's a gremlin ...

... because there was nothing in the post that violated the TOS IMO. I hate to even bring this up, but if there WAS something to warrant deletion of that post it's a "new one" to me, and should be discussed.

Pam Anderson is a highly visible spokesperson for PETA. It was a joke. I thought it was cute, but I may be suffering from post final grade posting "waiting for the onslaught of complaints/requests on the grades" trauma syndrome.

Unrelated question, Dr Bill. Do you do oncology? and if
May 15, 2006 11:27AM PDT

so do you know of Daniel Bersagel who was the definitive guy on Multiple Myeloma? I just spent a really wonderful afternoon at his retirement condo, doing some computer stuff for him and chatting with the family and particularly his daughter who is an old friend of my wife's and myself, and getting more material for the book on Nathan Isgur, since Nathan married Karin up here while he was a prof at U of Toronto, and then took her south to Williamsburg, Va. where they lived while he worked at the Jefferson Lab. Karin still lives there with their two kids, one 20 and the other 15. She may come back up to Canada when the kids have flown the nest.

Once I find a cancer I let one of the specialists take over.

draining of all specialties. While my wife sees a lot of it understandably, she sees a wide variety of other stuff too, so it doesn't really become the sole focus of her world, and treatment rates for early detection in Colo-rectal cancer are improving yearly. And even the stent work for esophageal cancers and bile duct tumors are positive in that you're buying people time, sometimes a surprising amount of time, free of symptoms and of discomfort.
