[Sportsandrec] {Spam?} RE: Stairmaster

Tue Jul 26 14:56:19 UTC 2016

Bill,

I certainly didn't mean to argue, only to point out that arguing
doesn't help people to be any healthier. I'm always concerned that
people throw the baby out with the bathwater when it comes to things
like this. It's easy to say, "This is why it's wrong," but much harder
to say, "Maybe it's better than the current alternative."

Warmth,
J
