Hey Tom,

Just wanted to extend an olive branch to you and say hello. I want to apologize for calling your site a "selling products" haven. I realize we both try to recoup some expenses for running our sites. Many things I said were because I was angry that it seemed like you weren't concerned with getting block warnings and were just posting linking beligerently. having a name is the best thing, because now we can communicate better.

I know I, for one, have never seen a profit from running my site. :) Quite the opposite actually. I really want you to understand that I'm not trying to delete atkinsdietbulletinboard.com links and keep mine listed. As of now, Wiki policy doesn't allow us to add any. If it wasn't me deleting your site, it would be someone else. I am all for adding support forum links to Diet articles. Yours and mine need to both be listed as well as the multitudes.

Please work with me on this argument. Anything else that is spoken under the Atkins Nutritional Approach discussion only makes us look like bickering children. If we approach this maturely, we may be able to add our links in the future. That is not to say that any new person would delete them, but if so, we could then enforce the new inclusion policy.

I hope you can drop any grudge you may have against me and any of AATW's members and make Atkins Nutritional Approach a better article. It angers me that severe con links to PETA sites are allowed while pro links like ours are not.

The site atkinsdietbulletinboard.com is a great site and should be added to the article. But as of right now, it's not allowed. So I must follow policy. Especially if people delete links to AATW. Trust me, I was involved in the same edit war with Graeml and that's why I created the discussion under the article.

Regards, your fellow low-carb follower,
