	As you've said yourself so many times before (to paraphrase):

	GET A FUCKING LIFE!

	There are hundreds of "celebrities" on the net, and the reason they
don't ever participate in USENET discussions is because of losers like you.
Nobody cares what you say anymore, Mr. Sharp, so the only effect you will
have by "flaming" GPO is to further discourage people like him from making
himself known.  Have you _ever_ met him?  Do you have any _concept_ of who
this person is before you're about to burn him at the stake?

	I've already posted to nm-list and the future list about this.  
Sometimes the level of intelligence on USENET is simply astounding.

	I, for one, would like to hear what you have against him... being that
he is one of the forefathers of the very concept of "industrial".

     If that last be true, then how did it come to pass that shiatsu
uses the same points that acupuncture uses and for the same reasons?
The practitioner I see also runs a shiatsu school here and this is what
she tells me anyway.  Seems to have have made life easier for her in

   I have been practicing shiatsu for a little less than a year now, and
I can say that irregardless of how it originated, it works.
    It is similar to accupuncture( which is why shiatsu is sometimes
called acupressure) in that it shares some of the same points, and it
supposedly works on the same principle of energy meridians.
    I do not necessarily follow all the beliefs of the ying yang energy,
I look at them more as a memory pneumonic.  However, I have sat down
with a friend of mine who is a physical therapist, and talked to him
about certain points that seem to have more of a result than just a
massage.
    It turns out that there are certain points that can manipulate the
spine and certain other joints.  For example, certain points up the
middle of the back can help to gently realign the spine.  This could
solve problems ranging from stiff neck, sore shoulders, to sore feet.
    More later, I have to go.

It is a sad commentary upon the plight of straight American men that 
so many of them would rather live with stress than ask a friend for
a backrub. (Yes, I saw the smiley, but I think the sentiment is a
common one.)

Just because backrubs *can* be sexual, doesn't mean that they have to
be. In fact, I'd say the vast majority of them are not. I've never
had a straight male friend turn me down when I requested a backrub,
nor have they expected ulterior motives.

Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar, you know?

	As I said, "it originated", but I don't know what happened after
	that...I've heard before that they came to use the same pressure
	points as in acu-puncture from the thought that if it works with
	needles, it could work with finger pressure...it seems perfectly
	logical to think of using the same pressure points during the
	development of this technique, considering that they want to
	accomplish basically the same thing...but then again, this is just 
	my own opinion.  :)

In re Shiatsu --- My sources indicate that Shiatsu started as a neuromuscular
approach rather than meridian based approach. Two basic styles - one
thumb and finger pressure based -on neouro muscular trigger points
and the other a finger pressure /holding technique involving aspects of
Jin SHin DO and Accupressure.

Most players blend it all together anyhoo. There seems to be no benefit
to practicing a "pure" form when the body demands many things.

Wow! I'm one of that few number. Never thought I'd see one on the nets,

     As a matter of actual fact, I've been seeing a shiatsu practitioner
since, oh, 1982 or so.  She's very good.  And from other accounts I've
heard of shiatsu she also seems to be very gental.  Of course it always
relaxes me but then any good massage would that.  I'm subject to sports
type injury on a regular basis due to spasticity and hypertonicity.
Shiatsu seems to relieve it a bit.  Although I find the Japanees form of
acu-puncture to do a better job.  Same person by the way.  She tells me
that more frequent visits for shiatsu would provide more relief.  But
at these prices ... well ...

     I've heard that shiatsu can be a little rough.  Maybe I've been
lucky.  Has anybody else found shiatsu to be somewhat violent?  Not as
bad as Rolfing maybe but somewhere in the middle?
