As I said assumptions are generally based on misguided notions. Think
what you want. Keep trying though and you might actually get it but
maybe not since I never post using my correct timezone. Some of you are
so hung up of finding out where someone lives than in hearing what they
have to say. So, any future postings from me will be through proxy
servers at different timezones and I'll change proxies often enough
until those nosey parkers get the hint it's not the location that
matters, it's the food discussion. Better yet, I think chaining the
proxies would provide the privacy while still allowing discussion. Do
you have a *problem* with discussing menus especially those geared to
weight reduction? If so, don't read my posts. If not, take them for
what they are and quit prying into my privacy. Thanks
