Curiosity value?



obFood: jack cheese (melted) and muffaletta on a large naan flatbread.
I'm not a big fan of muffaletta, despite my true love of olives, because
of the "pickled pepper" aspect (I like those about as much as Barb likes
beets). The jack cheese on bread calmed it just enough for me. I also
drained it well and picked the obvious pepper bits out.

I've never eaten or seen a muffaletta (not that I've looked for
it).... I like the ingredients separately, but together they sound
like a bad bout of stomach flu. Maybe it's too much cured meat for me
to comprehend. I'm not fond of pizza with more than one meat on it
either.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muffuletta

A typical muffuletta consists of one muffuletta loaf, split
horizontally. The loaf is then covered with a marinated olive salad,
then layers of capicola, salami, mortadella, emmentaler, and
provolone. The sandwich is sometimes heated through to soften the
provolone.

The olive salad is considered the heart of the sandwich, and consists
primarily of olives, along with celery, cauliflower, and carrot. The
ingredients are combined, seasonings are added, covered in olive oil
and allowed to combine for at least 24 hours. Prepared olive salad for
muffulettas can also be bought by the jar in New Orleans grocery
stores.[3]

I find a couple of problems:

1. A previous poster either didn't have a good newsreader or didn't
know how to use it. The attributions are all messed up and I have to
fix them manually.

2. The attributions are perfect, but there are five levels and 200
lines. I want to add half a dozen lines, but they only pertain to 10%
of the lines on my screen. I have to trim the post, and keep track of
which attributions to delete with which deleted lines.

As I understand (and I hope never to experience this personally),
neither webtv nor googlegroups quotes correctly by default.

Many of us will remember Mr. Chung, who called himself Dr. Chung, the
famous cardiologist with the two pound diet (just eat two pounds of food
a day, doesn't matter what it is). He changed his name/address every
week. The only way I could block him was by KFing every post that was
cross-posted to sci.med.cardiology, which he *always* included.

I've posted from google out of necessity more than once and in my
experience, the attributions were correct.

I *hate* it and that's when I top post. Most of the time, I don't
feel like diddling around with a post that should have been trimmed by
several previous posters. If they don't like me top posting, well
they can STFU as far as I'm concerned.

Google Groups did manage to fix most of their quoting problems. It's
semi-reasonable now. I still say they two criteria for the people
working on the new version: be worst software engineers we have and
know nothing about usenet.

Dee Dee- I finally posted the amaretti recipe for you last night, but
is it invisible to you since you have Google blocked? It was truly a
PIA to type, & I'd hate that you didn't see it!

That's why it used to irritate me when certain posters here would
respond to those message and delete the crossposts. That was triple
dumb. First of all, replying to him at all. Then removing the group
that he reads, meaning he probably wouldn't see it. Finally (and most
importantly because it involves ME) defeating my filters.

that's the main reason i use newsproxy, which pre-filters things
before they get to agent's filters (which as far as i can tell, can't
do the 'more than x crossposted' filter). it's a very handy filter.

Merryb, I posted an anwer of thanks for your recipe "from" Google just now.
I subscribe there, so I don't know what's wrong.
If you read from there, you will see it.

Kindest regards,
dee Dee

And as one poster a few years back said; I will never forget so pass it
along,
"Thank you for your unspoken thanks."
I love that.
