I should note that DiabetesTalkFest (DTF) recently added "account activation" as an effort to address the prevalent snake-oil salesmen/spammers who seem to prey on some with diabetes. Its an unfortunate issue with the Internet, but I would just add that having a DTF ID & password will also enable you to participate on various online chats that are held online periodically, so its useful to have!Scott Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03286529314567223617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16774010.post-48525815363319669432006-12-19T23:47:00.000-05:002006-12-19T23:47:00.000-05:00FYI - I'm just waiting on my account activation ov...FYI - I'm just waiting on my account activation over at talkfest, then I'll cast my "official" vote.<br /><br />The lead so far in my book is the chili consumption.

Wow.<br /><br />I really appreciate your ability to stay up to date with all this stuff, and to break down all of the medical, political and marketing mumbo-jumbo so that the average Joe (i.e. me) can better understand it. <br /><br />Thanks for all you do!<br /><br />...chili consumption..?
