I have dick killfiled to avoid wasting time reading his posts.

Good. Then I can speak freely on this subject, so as not to embarrass
the agressively ignorant dolt with the abysmal depth of his =

ignorance.

For one thing, *Chewy French Baguette* is an oxymoron, notwithstanding
what may be dishonestly purveyed as such in American supermarkets.

To Roy: the French make their French bread with low gluten flour,
which is what the French have, and seem to like. Possibly the crusts=20
are soft for a few moments when the come out of the oven, but by the
time the loaves reach the home, they are definitely crunchy, and a few
hours later one risks an explosion of gritty crumbs if approaching such
a loaf with a knife with intention to cut. =20

For another thing, French baguettes are not sourdough, so discussion of
them is off topic at r.f.s.

"Bob" had apparently written:

I did not see the post that mentioned flippant. I would not have =

that "Bob" was smart enough to be flippant. I assumed that it was a =

Are you arrogant or brain-dead? Why don't you give us more specific =

something like that to make yourself seem mildly unique.

Well, "How do you make french baguettes?" is not a much better post=20
than "How do you make chewy french baguettes". Anyway, this not=20
where people learn how to make French baguettes. It is for
sourdough, and there is plenty of stuff to read before you jump in with
one-line questions, and it is pretty easy to find.
