Yeah, but at least you don't have to create a user name and password, it's pretty fast.

Not to be a wet blanket, but a number of members of Congress have sent letters to the FDA demanding that they fulfill their obligations to get that little chore completed, and so far, nothing has happened. Since Congress controls the purse strings as far as the FDA is concerned, if that didn't rattle their cage, I doubt that they're going to lose any sleep over at the FDA over an internet petition.

IMO, the FDA is a perfect example of a bureaucracy totally out of control They do pretty much what they want, when they want, and they don't answer to anyone. When Congress calls them on the carpet, they show up and pretend to be apologetic, and then they go back to their plush offices and continue doing whatever strikes their fancy. :lol:

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.

It can't hurt, Tex, but I share your skepticism.
