That's what people say. I can't say if it's true. If I didn't have it I'd
just use regular salt. Use about a third less. I've made a couple of batches
of the stuff. I'd use vinegar instead of lemon juice - it tastes better.
Well, that's the way I see it. I'd ditch the 5 spice and cloves and stick in
a few star anise instead. Well, that's just what I'd do.

LOL you sound just like me when I am using a recipe <g>

No, of course not, the only thing you're interested in is eating but I want to also learn how people were back in the old days. Rest assured that I'm not interested in this kind of cooking as a general practice - not
that it's any of your business.

Why do you talk in a public forum about things that are none of our
business?

Interested in learning about it, yes. I ate enough of that shit in the
1960s. I don't need to eat it now.

You only believe that because you've been pulling that shit on Usenet for far too long. Try living in the real world for a change. Congrats on being a part of the Eternal September mob.

This is the archive:

It doesn't work well since Google took it over. You can search for
"Ophelia" and sort by date. But it will start with 2020 and before
you've gone back a couple of years, the day will be over. Unless
there's a way to sort starting with the furthest back.

The earliest I see is 2015 but that doesn't mean it's the complete list.

People can also have changed their name. Maybe dsi1 one was Mr Aloha a
long time ago.

He's been dsi1 for as long as I can remember and I've here since 2003/2004.
Has he slipped in using another name? I don't have a clue and I don't care.

Who knows? That's my point.

Cindy wondered about dsi1's experience with Usenet. But I'll pass on
that you don't care.

Cindy, Joan doesn't care. Oh, and she's also clueless!

Why worry about it? Does he owe you money? Did he promise that you can
stay at his house if you vacation in Hawaii?

Before Google took over, you could search for posts by a particular
author or in a particular date range etc. Now you can only do a crude
search for keywords.

You probably never used the archive before Google took over, so you
don't know how much better it used to be.

Do you know how I can search for the keyword "Ophelia" and sort in
ascending date order, so starting with the oldest, not with the
newest?

As I said, Cindy was wondering about dsi1's Usenet experience, not me.

A few years ago, he forgot to change his id here and
posted using his real name and address. I caught that one
and learned what he did for a living. No big deal though.

Deja News handled the archives better. Google bought it in 2001.
Our loss.

Saying something is "better" isn't saying anything at all.

about not knowing.

This is the archive:

It doesn't work well since Google took it over. You can search for
"Ophelia" and sort by date. But it will start with 2020 and before
you've gone back a couple of years, the day will be over. Unless
there's a way to sort starting with the furthest back.

LOL I am not that bothered I know it is over 20 years

On this newsgroup, my guess is that it would be around early January 2002.

LOL wow!!! Do you know, I remember that)) I was in the UK food group
before I came here. Several posters got so nasty a lot of us left and it
died. I don't suppose I need to point out someone who did that?

Who knows. I have learned to have a whole bunch of them on my KF. When

I suppose if that happens here, the only option would be FB

Oh no, not FB!

I try to avoid FB if I can help it but a lot of people use it to keep in touch with family members. My understanding is that many businesses feel the need to have a presence on Facebook. It's a major advertising outlet. I don't understand how it all works, myself but the business that I work for has a guy handling advertising and the social medias. That's just how business gets done in the year 2020.

I try to avoid FB if I can help it but a lot of people use it to keep in
touch with family members. My understanding is that many businesses feel the

I use FB for keeping in touch with the kids and grands I do see the
cooking group but I rarely read it

I much prefer it here without all the adverts.
