So you're all moved now, Susie? Is it in the same area? You deserted your

beautiful hilltop with wildlife all around? V.

OK, call me skeptical, but I have some questions BEFORE I respond to this

survey, IF I do.

- I got notification from Egroups that you joined this list two minutes before

posting this. You have chosen NOT to let your profile be visible to other

members of this list. Hmmmmmmmm. Do you plan to be an active member of this

list?

- If you're not going to be an active member of this list, why shouldn't I

consider this to be spam that you joined the list just to send?

- Why is this survey not on the UV or the NECI web site?

If this is on the up and up, that's great. Unfortunately, diabetics are spammed

and scammed just entirely too often.

This is my post both as a list member and a moderator of the list. I

respectfully request a timely answer.

Groundbreaking Diet Research

Hello, the Food Science Center of the University of Vermont and the

New England Culinary Institute are conducting joint research to

develop a prepared meal plan specifically tailored for Diabetics. We

are conducting this survey to find out more about the tastes and

needs of Diabetics. Please help us. We are convinced that a

nutritionally complete, physician recommended, great tasting meal

plan CAN be developed. But we need to here from people such as you

in order to better meet the needs of the Diabetic community. This

survey should only take a few minutes of your time and will help us

enormously. Thank you in advance and if you like, we will keep you

informed of any new developments in our product. The information

will only be used in the aggregate and all information will be kept

strictly confidential.

Thanks in advance,

Allard

Re: Groundbreaking Diet Research

This is a scam, folks. They are just fishing for personal info, such as

household income, magazines you like to read, hobbies, number of children,

etc.

ABSOLUTELY !!! I wouldn't give them the time of day. The idea that there

might be a prepackaged meal for diabetics -- as if we ALL ate the same thing

every day. Ridiculous.

I'm going to try to check more on this tomorrow.

I've already forwarded it to the University of Vermont and the New England

Culinary Institute. I can find nothing about this on either of their sites.

Susie,

Yes, there are probably those folks out there wanting to make a fast buck and

there are a few others that will jump at the chance to get it, either out of

desperation or status, but I like something Carlin once said that fits

anything that might seem just the least bit suspicious:

" If you nail two things together that have never been nailed together before,

some schmuck will buy it from you. "

Need I say more?

Thank you, Miss Susie. OH, and more . . . y'all will not see any more posts

from this person unless the unbelievalbe occurs, and he proves himself to be

legit. I have limited his posting so that or I must approve his post before

it goes to the list, and have removed his privilege to upload files to our

eGroups space.

I don't know why so many people call me, " Mom. " <g>

Good job, girl! I'm sure both the U of Vermont and the New England Culinary

Institute will be horrified to be associated with such a cheap-o scam where

even the most common words are misspelled.

You are entirely welcome. But you got to admit, it's true!
