That's okay, I got flamed on the same NG.  In a nutshell, the guy said I was
a moron and taking CS was akin to eating rocks.  I let him know that the
idea of a NG was the sharing of ideas, and someone had asked for opinions
from people who had used CS.  I reminded him that at one point zinc lozenges
for colds were looked upon as voodoo, but now look at how many of the big
drug companies sell them.  Not everything is accepted by the established
powers or their followers and that is okay, we know better.  It took a while
to convince some folks that the earth was not flat :-)
