Mark: Yes, it was just a coincidence. There have been several discussions on diet over the 11.75 months that this list has been in operation. Sending a message to the listserver for the archives (how-to is in the welcome message) is probably the quickest way to get the information. Ok. Now I will confess. Someone sent me a message relating how someone else got information about this list from gopher. I thought the person wanted to know HOW to get the information from gopher so I sent him a long message, step-by-step. Turns out, he wanted to join the list. <more blushing> While on gopher, I found that information. So it really wasn't a waste of time after all.
