Om, are you confusing me with someone else? Last I looked, I was not a
'her'. :-)

Anyway, I think the whole thing has become silly and petty. Killfiled or
ignored, makes absolutely no difference to me.

I did reply to a couple of "patches" cooking posts, but she obviously
wasn't interested in replying.

No big deal. It's easy for me to ignore, too.

Cheers!
