Bernstein, or "Bernsquack" as he was often called, used to be sneered
at here by some in exactly the same terms as some now sneer at Taubes:
pushing an agenda, trying to sell a book, no proper medical
qualifications, not respected by medical authorities, cites outdated
research, too technical, etc etc.. But a silent conversion seems to
have taken place. Outsider and some others have recently mentioned
Bernstein approvingly in asd without attracting any protest.

Perhaps we just need to wait a while for the protesters to have
actually read Taubes.

Just creating another pointless dispute, Chris? I purchased Bernstein
as a result of his being mentioned favorably in this newsgroup,
followed by my acceptance of his general point(s) of view as revealed
in the book reviews I read.
Chris fails in his attempt to troll here by misrepresenting what has
been said about both Bernstein and Taubes. No one "sneers" at either
of them but there are a few, myself included, who are not disciples of
those two books.

Google "Bernsquack" in asd for plenty of examples of sneers!
One person, who has not posted here in a long time, used that term.

And if you follow up his criticisms
His?
 >of Bernstein as "Bernsquack", you
will find his opiniions often drew applaise and agreement from you and
your friends of that time.
I never applaud on Usenet.

That was a metaphor, Kurt. It covers such responses as your not
uncommon "+n" where "n" is an integer.

lol. Thanks for the laugh, intentional or not. I almost spewed. ;-)
