Okay, this is coming from a gun enthusiast. Should the trolls be

I'd think that by the age of 64 (Wayne's age) would develop enough self -
awareness to "get it". In this case, apparently *not*...

I'll agree with that, but I wish Wayne would get better about trimming his
posts. Same thing for Om: I read their posts, but sometimes it's irksome to
have to page down again and again to reach the new stuff.

Hey, there are still *some* Australian posters worth reading! Rhonda
Anderson and Phred are still here, and I'm sure there are more but my mind
is a bit fuzzy because I woke up only a short time ago.

In tribute to our worthwhile Australian posters:

LadyJane's Pavlova

6 egg whites
1/8 tsp cream of tartar
1 cup castor sugar
2 Tblsp cornflour
2 tsp white vinegar

Preheat oven to 400ºF
Grease a large springform pan and dust with cornflour, tapping off
excess.
Sift sugar, cornflour and cream of tartar.
Using an electric mixer (hey I am not a sadist!!) beat egg whites until
glossy and stiff peaks form.
Gradually add the sugar/flour/c of t and continue beating well after
each addition.
Drizzle the vinegar over mixture and gently fold through using a
spatula.
Pile mixture into springform pan and put in pre-heated oven.
Immediately reduce heat to 250ºC and bake for 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours.
Should be ever so slightly golden.
Leave pavlova in oven to cool, with door ajar.

Top with:
(my choice) macerated fresh peaches, hulled strawberries, sliced (I
peel the fruit and use an egg slicer) kiwi fruit, passionfruit atop
huge - I mean HUGE - dollops of whipped cream (add 1 Tbls
icing/confectioner's sugar to stablise the cream - or do as I am doing
and use high-cholesterol, high calorie, hugely delicious double
cream!!)
Dust with icing sugar and/or chocolate curls.

May your arteries never clog!

Just because that some of these residents are all we see from that

It does not raise my curiosity to the rest. Though, I met some aussies

Kill all Google Groups posters.........

If you had actually followed the instructions listed immediately above,
then, of course, he's *already* in your killfile. So why are you
responding to a post that you can't see?

Naw, he's long gone from there. He's in upstate NY now. That happened
even before I killfiled him, almost a year ago.

Let's just condemn all of the East Coast of the US!

Except that when replying to a very long post with many points, it is
considered most polite to reply to each point inline. By skipping to
the bottom, you will only see the last point. I'll have to admit that
this doesn't happen very often, but I try to do it as necessary.

Because... like some of us keep on saying - Peter Lucas doesnt actually
killfile anyone.

He just says he does. He *must* read any posts from his
'enemies'.

He has responded to people he's claimed to have killfiled many times,
even in just the past six months.
