This is a first for me, never posted to my own thread before.
A genuine thanks to you for the welcome "Cybercat".

And thanks to Gregory and PVC.
Gregory...
I never realised, I was too emotionally self -indulgent.
I'm sorry I decided to open myself a little, I shouldn't have done that. I
need to sort my own problems out on my own.

PVC...
I will go to English lessons ASAP, I cannot believe I punctuated my message
incorrectly and also the mis-use of capitals, I am distraught. In the future
when I type I will check my use/abuse of my language.

OK, that's done, now here is my real response.
Cybercat: Thank you for the welcome, you are a nice person.
Gregory: What can I say? Why would you decide to attack me, I posted a
couple of paragraphs that would explain my email subject. All I said was
true, and this was a rare time when I felt I could share with those who had
a passion for cooking.
If you felt that my little expose of myself was inappropriate, say so, and
then answer my cooking questions.
Your flippant "too emotionally self -indulgent" comment was ill conceived;
I'm being kind!

PVC: What can I say. I post in a cooking newsgroup and decide to tell a bit
about myself in the post, to show people where I have been, an idea of where
I am, and to ask for advice.
You decide to criticise my grammar. No advice, no help, just that pathetic
little dig.
Do you cook?, I just wondered. In my post I decide to reveal a little about
me, to explain who I am and where I am at the moment. The best you could
give was I had misplaced some commas and mis-used capital letters . I
haven't bothered to look, but I would assume you are correct in your
criticism.
The misuse of commas and apostrophes is a worldwide affliction, I would not
call it a disease, because that would be stupid. Too many commas, not enough
commas and misplaced apostrophes, who gives a ****, only the pedants care.
If you think that my comments suggest that I have no care of the English
language, you are wrong in your assumption. I love the English language.
Your IP address (us) suggests you don't. That is OK.
Colour or Color, Theater or Theatre, etc. etc.

Anyway, just to round up..
Please respond to my questions in my first post, my lead up to the questions
was to tell everyone why and where I was. I REALLY would like to see some
feedback on Knives.

To Gregory and PVC. don't bother to respond in the Usenet group, I will not
answer. Do not clutter up this excellent group, with flames.
If you want to have a swipe at me, that's OK, bring it on. Direct the
message to ME, and as a word of warning don't get too nasty, don't step over
the line. If you go too far I will format your HD, and if you are really
obnoxious I will speak to my boy, and that will be really bad.
I have often thought about giving all of the money in my Bank accounts to
Charity, never done it but maybe one day.

Back to rec.food.cooking,
In my short time as an amateur cook, I have found that my wife and son are
my guides. I always tell them to tell me if they have a criticism, and I
take that on and refine my dish. .
I would however like to know opinions on the best knife and also freezing
fresh veg, (that would be supermarket fresh)
Thank you in anticipation.
Barry
