Folks catch on, or they do not and I at least, respond mostly to the
regulars or normal seeming folks.

Notice a huge number of regulars who ignore it all.

Doesnt bother me. Carol Shenkenberger ;-) You'll see it on a recipe posted
in another thread from my days in Hawaii.

Ok, looked real. No harm there.

That or just assholes. Me, I report them if they email to my account and
suddenly they stop.

Understood. Few here have my home address, nor do they need it. It's too
bad we didnt know each other last time I was in your area. I spent a
largely bored and lonely time many of the hours in Brisbane. It would have
been good to share a beer with you and wileaway a few hours at some local
watering hole you like. Would have only needed the address of the watering
hole and a local taxi number to meet up, or you to want to meet at my hotel
and know which it was.

Wayne's ok. I think he got caught in one of the spammer posts.

Hehe he's not seeming the sort to put up with the ruder aspects of some of
the posters. Just wanted some breadmachine tips.
