Many, many hotmail users aren't spammers. Naturally, a Google Groups
(but not gmail) filter would've killed that, as it did here.

See link in sig.

I finally followed your advice. I used to argue against it, but a
hundred thousand whacks over the head convinced me. I'm now googlegroups
free thanks to the recent spate of crap. Enlightenment comes hard for me.

Enjoy. And thanks for the feedback.

My I quote you on one of my Other Voices pages at the UIP? (See sig
link; view those pages from main menu.) I realize this is a public forum,
but I'm terminally courteous. If yes, you will be credited, as are the
others I've quoted. Please advise.

We lived in Florida for a few years while my wife was in grad school,
and another year or so afterward. I had never seen a muscovy before,
and I asked someone, "What kind of bird is that?" The person looked
at me in disbelief and said, "That's a duck." Down there, the normal
type of duck is a muscovy, but we don't have those in Missouri, and I
explained that to the person. I guess the person thought that I had
missed the preschool age, learn the animals stuff.

Please don't, George. My not inclding you, Cibulka, in my recipe was
an honest case of forgetbulness. What Russian recipe doesn't include
onion (cibulka)?

Please forgive us and visit the "Russian Roulette with Cibulka"!

Quite a few people, as it turns out. In addition to our onion expert
George Cebulka-Cipollino, my business associate Kisa Vorobianinoff
almost killed me at the end of book one.

There is a very simple test to determine if the bird in question is
indeed a duck. You ask it to walk over to the cashier and ask for a
change for a buck. If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck -
chances are that it's a duck. If it talks with a Russian accent - it's
a Muscovy duck. BTW, I'll buy that buck from you for 2 bucks - I love
venison: lean but juicy, if medium rare. Also, that cashier will also
explain to you the little-known difference between beer nuts and deer
nuts: beer nuts are over a buck.

These are simple, basic common-sense tests, but if you use them you
will never have to play the Russian Roulette with your Russian game
food again! Which is a wise thing to do, because Russians always win
at their roulette. Their game and other meats are stacked in their
favour.

I have a bit of bad news to share with out customers. Today we are out
of the rack of lamb due to the lack of ram. Instead we serve you a
lame lamb tongue twister.

But we can serve a classical Russian audio-video duck recipe in the
form of Alexander Rozenbaum's great poem "Duck Hunt" set to his music:
