No harm intended. Right, so some people are allergic to different food types including alcohol, and that was what I was asking if this is what you thought. Again sorry if you took it the wrong way. . .

You're not getting it. I wasn't offended by what you said and I'm 100% confident that steven wasn't either, and I also know for 100% that you didn't do it On purpose. All I'm saying is that you have to be careful to not attribute things to people that didn't say them.[/quote] You also have to be careful of how you respond to people. If you would have left out the "come on", it probably would have went quite a bit differently.

Perhaps, but there is a difference between manners and false attribution.

Hold on, some of you guys are saying he doesn't look healthy now? Did he look healthy before???

Good question. You are always going to either be too fat, or too skinny, by "other people's" view. Nobody is perfect and you're fooling yourself if you think Dufner is less healthy by watching his diet and working out.

Exactly.  When someone says "So your assertion is . . . " and they do not follow that with EXACTLY what the other person said then they are putting words in their mouth and creating a false straw man.  Whether or not that is their intent.

But then again, what the hell do I know?

Thank you. This is all I was trying to point out.

Good theory, I wouldn't have put these two things together without your original assertion.

Anyways, what I knew about gluten was sketchy and this made me read up on gluten as I've been purposely ignorant, just avoided learning about it. I now know about the relationship between gluten and inflammation and other things, so this thread has helped me learn a thing or two.

Good research! I'm still impressed by your thinking about anything golf related! :beer:

So your assertion is that based upon what he took out of his diet, he might get injured less?

I re-assert that your assertion makes a lot of sense to me. I had just gotten over a bout of food allergies, and something clicked when I read your post. When I was consuming things to which I was allergic, bad things happened to me. So, I can relate to this. . .

    • Wordle 1,013 4/6* ⬛🟦🟦⬛⬛ ⬛🟦⬛🟦🟦 🟧⬛🟧🟧🟧 🟧🟧🟧🟧🟧 par is good after a double bogey yesterday.
    • I did read the fine print tonight. It said replace with “similar features & function”.  8 yeas ago my purchase had features that today are available on the lower end models and the current version of my model has more “bells & whistles” than what I got 8 years ago.  So I am thinking they honored the agreement and I can’t argue the offer. since getting a credit for the full purchase price all I am really out over the past 8 years was the cost of the extended warranty, which was less than a low end  treadmill would have cost me. now the question is which model to replace with.  I’ll stay with Nordic Track or I forfeit the $1,463 credit so I will get Nordic Track.  And they honored the warranty and were not hard to work with which is a plus.
    • Generally speaking, extended warranties are a terrible deal and should almost always be avoided. They are a huge profit center for the companies that offer them, which should tell you almost everything you need to know about how much value most consumers get when purchasing them.  This is correct, and the old adage applies - only buy insurance when you can't afford the loss. This usually doesn't apply to most consumer goods.  To your second question, no I don't believe the offer is fair. They are replacing it, but it is not being replaced at "no cost to you". Since the amount being disputed (over $500) is non-trivial, I would probably push the issue. Don't waste your time on the phone with a customer service agent or a supervisor. They have probably given you all they have the authority to do. Rather, I would look at the terms of your agreement and specifically legal disputes. The odds are you probably agreed to binding arbitration in the event of a dispute. The agreement will outline what steps need to be followed, but it will probably look something like this.  1. Mail the Nordic Track legal department outlining your dispute and indicate you are not satisfied with the resolution offered.  2. Open up a case with the AAA (American Arbitration Association), along with the required documentation. 3. Wait about 4-5 weeks for a case to be opened - at which point someone from Nordic Track's legal department will offer to give you the new model at no cost to you.  They certainly don't want to spend the time and energy to fight you over $500. 4. Enjoy your new Nordic Track at no cost to you. I recently entered binding arbitration against a fairly large and well known company that screwed me over and refused to make it right. In my demand letter, I made a pretty sizeable request that included compensation for my time and frustration. Once it hit their legal department, they cut me a check - no questions asked. It was far cheaper to settle with me than to send their legal team to defend them in the arbitration.
    • I never thought of looking at it on multiple purchases like you said.  Yes, the extended may help me on 1 or 2 items but not the other 5 or 6.
    • Day 84 - Forgot to post yesterday, but I did some more chipping/pitching.    Back/neck were feeling better today, so I did a much overdue Stack session.
