I was not/am not pissed off. I don't see anything unfriendly in this thread. I happen to strongly disagree with your assessment of Jai. It is one thing to have an honest and up front opinion. It is quite another to make a statement that someone should be a poster girl for anorexics. Someone suffering from anorexia nervosa would never be able to complete a Cathe workout let alone be a strong and competent member of her crew. I am not flaming you. And I don't PM anyone on this forum.

Amy no one is flaming you. Just opinions. I think it is not always a good idea to make such sweeping generalizations and assumptions when we do not know what goes on behind closed doors. People only said they disagree with the assessment based on how she looks and what we do know. The thread is not nasty...yet }( j/k
