I was flattered and then #sadapanda. Life is way too busy for me to be here even as YTIK, let alone as an AE.

I'm betting there will be a whole new crop of AEs that joined TB right ...about...now.
Quick Recap:
@Crunchy joined the "I hate LCNumbers" bandwagon.
On the article thread, I commented that anything I have said about Formula wasn't even as offensive as what @Crunchy said (see below) in the original article thread.
@Crunchy got mad at being called out/into the mix.
@Crunchy said:
"but there are studies showing that bf babies, accounting for parental age, edu, ses, race, etc etc etc, average 10 higher iq points. there are studies that show there are benefits to bfing. i know- i've read the actual studies and not just an article that summarizes them.
one study showing otherwise does not negate the other studies. and @SnoopyLuv 's article raises interesting questions. a mom can say she bf'd but bfing for 1 week is not the same as bfing for 1 year. a valid research study should be able to withstand critique.
bottom line for me is that science cannot make a product equal to bm because science cannot even identity what some components of bm are much less how to replicate it. and again- cow's milk is made for baby cows, not baby humans. just look at how bf babies and ff babies grow differently. if anything formula should use goat's milk that is closer in composition to bm.
it's excellent that formula is close to bm. but it is not equal."

No where in there do I see anything about "I can't be friends with someone who formula feeds because we have different values." Those are some things that have been researched and may be valid (but may be incorrect as well). Stating research and benefits of breast feeding in relation to a discussion about formula vs breast milk is logical. Being pro breast milk is fine, judging mothers who formula feed and calling them lazy is not. Which she doesn't.
I never said I can't be friends with someone who formula feeds. #Iam.
And I never called them lazy. #theyarenot.
In fact, I posited that breastfeeding, once established, can take much less effort, for some, than formula feeding would. #nothingtocarry/measure/mix
Idk who my boobs' AE is, but I would think it was someone who is the opposite of me. Just a though. Not gonna lie though. I'm a bit flattered my boobs warranted one.
However, if you're going to create an AE for fun (which I'm guessing it is--maybe it's no one from here and someone I know irl who found me<-----is that a narcissistic thought?), then come out an play. Don't post every few days. 2 post does not a good AE make. :P
