Well, I guess it's settled now. Good for Cathe for posting the new sticky on the Ask Cathe board! 
Now that I know that we're right, and I'm posting from a postion of obnoxious self-righteous right-ness, I can say that I was really tired of the big-celebrity-as-god mentality of the posters who didn't value the opinions of their merely mortal fellow posters.
There, I've said it.

Just adding my two cents in here. As a newbie, I think it would be a great loss to this place if folks started to not post answers on Ask Cathe. I've posted two questions there. Both times I figured it was a long shot that I would get an answer from Cathe, but I knew that I would also likely get some really great advice from the crowd. So it was worth a shot to me to post on Ask Cathe rather than in this section.
And I have to agree with you, Nancy: Cathe is certainly knowledgeable and it's great to be able to get her opinions on fitness questions, but there are a lot of experienced people here whose opinions are really valuable, too.

A-Jock - you posted what I have been thinking for YEARS!
"I've never asked Cathe anything myself, but I certainly wouldn't want to be her and having to answer questions on
Fake nails
Hair pieces
Her favourite food
Favourite colour
and so and so on - very "tedious" I would think"
PRAISE THE LORD! I am a business woman and I work w/people in a much more personal way than Cathe, I mean that in the sense that I work one on one and a lot of times for my work it is required that I know a lot of detail about one's life. If anyone was asking me some of the questions that Cathe is asked (and graciously answers!), my mouth would drop, Honestly, I don't think I would answer. After all, while we are loyal customers and worship the gal, her husband, children, hygene, surgeries, etc. are (or should be IMHO) off limits.
I LOVE the input of others on this and the Ask Cathe board. there are so many very well educated people here that can provide a different outlook, information and opinions and I welcome that

Bunbun, I think we are safe for the moment! LOL! I was delighted and amused to read A-Jock's response to Ruth. And relieved. I didn't say I would not post but that I COULD not post but that would have been a major bummer. I tend to think of the Open Discussion forum as the Off Topic forum because it's often way off topic. Ask Cathe offers the best fitness information and has yielded most of the best exercise programs I have ever tried. So all I have to say is YAY!

Maturity is the ability to do a job whether or not you are supervised, to carry money without spending it, and to bear an injustice without wanting to get even.
