Useless to me, but there may be an arthritic baker out there who would
love to have it. My mom had one for years until it broke, and it saved
her a lot of pain in her hands and wrists. I just use the plain old
sifter. =o)

What did? What are you talking about? Who are you replying to?

If you're going to use google for usenet, learn how to use it properly. Enable
the option that includes attributes and quotes, please. Thank you.

Perhaps you should learn to use your newsreader properly or learn to
follow a thread. Even without attributes and quoting
it's not hard to find out who she's responding to. Unless you are too
lazy or stupid to figure it out that is. Maybe it's both.

It may not be hard to figure out, but it's a pain in the ass. I AM too lazy,
or stupid to figure it out. So quit making things so difficult for me,
please. Thank-you.

You are clearly out of line here! Looking at the post that notbob replied
to, there was next to nothing to indicate what the poster was talking
about. One shouldn't have to read back up a thread to understand what a
poster is referring to, nor is it a fault of using a newsreader improperly.
You obviously "CouldntCareLess" what people think of you either. I can
assure you, with outbursts like this, is isn't much.

When the vagaries of propagation have been resolved, quoting will become
less of an issue. Until then, it's appropriate for people to follow the
common Usenet custom of snipping and quoting replied-to messages.

For the newbies and naysayers, I again refer you to:
http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html

Newbies have an excuse (and a polite note to them, with appropriate
references such as the above, is often enough to square things away); others
don't. I don't see why this is such a difficult concept for some people.
