"You have a leaky roof and a bucket under the leak. The flush empties the bucket. Maybe not all at once, but more so each time. Leave the bucket alone and the leak will fill it back up. You got to stop the leak or at least reduce it. That's a matter of diet and lifestyle."
Very nice analogy from someone who revels in them. But i still don't think ole Fuggles will flush ;).
ps Steve: i happened across your u-tube "stone melting experiment" of 8 months ago today. Do cholesterol balls melt in the sun? Have you come up with any overall conclusions?
