Well..this is what I am all about: This is usenet, not AmaericanNet.
If someone doesn't undertsand my post(s), no need to *lecture* me how
I should post; asking to verify what I said is okay. I will nto hide
that 'acting holier-than-thou will get condescending response from me;
it is my way of saying "**** off".

It;s easy enough to see how he got out. You may have filtered him out by
his user name, and it keeps morphing. Like so many others who use news
groups only to pester and annoy, he keeps changing it to slip past
filters. The best thing to do is to ignore him until he gets bored and
finds somewhere else to play.

Just so you know, Dave, that *ain't* gonna happen...and I only "pester and
annoy" the "pesterers" and the "annoyers", that has been my Usenet "MO" for
a decade now. A few of those Usenet malcontents have even given up on
Usenet *completely* because of my relentless hammering of their utter
stupidity and phoniness...

You made yourself look super silly by trying to be superior to someone
who isn't a native English speaker and then decided that they "flamed
you" (they didn't) then claimed "we" don't understand them (you don't
speak for me or anyone else except yourself) and as you may have noticed
the others did mention they had no trouble understanding the person.
Then you showed the real troubled you by calling both the OP and me
a**holes for who knows what reason.

But you didn't do that. You tried to make yourself look superior by
jumping on a non native English speaker who was simply trying to
communicate on topic about cooking as best they could and ended up with
egg on your face. A normal person would have apologized or just dropped
it. You then decided the best approach would be name calling and
continue to do so with your last comment.

Nonsense, you stilly Republican halfwit. I simply asked, "is English your
second language" because some nastier comments had been made, and I wanted
to head off more. As it turns out, the language barrier is not the problem.
When she gives a shit, she can communicate clearly IN English. Also as it
turns out, she is an arrogant, aggressively stupid person.

You are more of a fool to assume that I set up to receive the posts
from this group. I don't come here often enough if you care to pay a
little attention. I have spent as much time as I have recently only
because I decided to out the airheads in their place. This is me

It's not necessary to keep track but anyone with decent brain function
on memory woudl ntoice those who are here more often than others.
Obviously, your memory is not at a decent level of functioning. Do
you also use calculator to add 2 and 2?

Don't try too hard to make sense of cyber****'s posting. It's just the

Not until inauguration, dumbass.

Your use of the terms "we" and "ours" implies that you consider yourself a
member of some kind of group. Yet as far as I can tell, nobody wants any
association with you at all -- except for that idiot blake, and he's letting
his dead-for-years penis make all his decisions.

My bad. I meant to express 'outside Europe'. There's more countries more

In the USA, you dont really get a different world-view from living near
Canada. Yes, they do have a different political system and such, but
there's not that much real cultural difference of the sort I mean. Not like
say, USA vs France or South Africa. I'd imagine England to feel pretty
'different' (dunno, havent lived or visited there). I know OZ feels quite
different in some aspects (Only been to NW portion and never lived there but
have visited something like 9-10 times, mostly Darwin).

I wanted so much to get that set of orders to Belgium but it wasnt to be.
Oh well.

You can experience culture shock going between New Orleans and Houston,
between Richmond, Virginia, and Amish country in Pennsylvania, or between
Miami and West Palm Beach: Those city-pairs are not all that far apart
geographically, but they're WORLDS apart culturally.

Yes, I can see that one. It's hard to chat on a subject the other knows
little about! Fortunately 'cooking' is never like that and I've enjoyed
many an exchange with literally *no* common language. Just hand signs and
a pad of paper with a pencil for drawing.

I shopped alot at Tonoo Market (was 1/4-1/2 mile from home and on the route
before I moved on base) and once I got more comfy (and they with me), I'd
start working out how to make a recipe from something I ate out in town
(with a carefully written phonetic name i could repeat). The shop keepers
would happily oblige by telling me the rest of it but couldnt tell me 'how
much' of something was needed til we hit on a closed fist for volume then
finger counts for how many closed fists etc. (Thats about 3/4 cup each).
They'd even scamper the stalls with me to get the other parts (small stalls,
no one sells everything). Spice stalls, seaweed stalls, Miso lady, etc.

Lots of fun but I never could ask much about their lives or family etc. Oh
sure, over time I learned some of that too from the ones who spoke english,
and they learned of me with one who could translate, but I couldnt sit with
them over a cup of tea and natter away.

That's something I wouldnt worry about at all. I'd just ignore those folks.

Ah, it's no biggie really. Folks here like to chat about cooking and not
all of us are all that careful always with spelling.

Humm, not sure I totally follow as you wont make the batch last til Xmas
vacation unless I misunderstood the quantities. Freezing will help make it
last (some things freeze really well) but it just wasnt enough, even for one
person. Then again, I eat a high veggie diet.

Oh, and do *not* learn spelling from me! I have corresponded with many
folks who have said my errors make me unreadable to them as 'english is a
second language' but actually those folks were just being a pain in the ass
(could read me fine, were wanting to start a fight and it was the ammo of
choice).

Generally my spelling is right but then you get these odd ones that I never
get right and never notice. I literally do not 'see' that I am spelling
some words different (or was that differnt? diferent? oh the hell with it
'not the same' ;-)

Well I can't claim it as my own. My mind doesn't go in that direction But
I thought the help I had was appropriate.

I was going to give you the benefit of the doubt but this is the end of
that.

You are an obnoxious and rude snot.

then why do so many people have you killfiled, to the point you have to add
new names every day? free clue: they're not all people who are subject to
your 'relentless hammering' of stupidity.
