500,

I was always a big tea, milk and sugar drinker and I stopping alcohol just allowed more time for tea and Coke.

While the sample is small, 3 of us have been trying some experiments. I all cases we had many times tried to cut out all grain based foods and with a 100% failure rate. However, after ceasing all alcohol for about 6 weeks we had a go at the grain and it was easy. I have eaten no grain based food or potato since early January (the other 2 blokes are the same) and there has been an interesting outcome.

About March or so I noticed I was no longer posting on the AR political forum, where I was a large poster. In fact in general I no longer get into debates that don't produce outcomes for anybody.

Now while we had quite a long run on the Wby DGR thread I regard that type of thing as quite different as their a outcomes. For example I received several emails from people who did not know what the Wby custom shop was about and what they would do plus also some on "in line feeding". Basically those type of threads can be informative for the lurkers

Also since stopping grain my business has increased and I put that down to expending less energy on subjects/debates etc where there is no outcome.

By the way, I did not bother explaining to some of the emailers if they get involved with "non catologued" Wbys some of the pricing structures between Wby and dealers or importers change and the price increase is somewhat higher than the increased in recommended retail would indicate

For example, at a simple level, you could with Product Upgrade have a Wby Deluxe in 375 Wby and it will be only $39US dearer than a 300 or 340 Deluxe. But the cost at the gunshop will be much higher.
