Is it to prove your superiority or to get some benefit through better

the latter, you need to reconsider why the apparent need to alienate
so many posters.

Always a rational voice "i"....

and along with Darrel I ask that those who are alienated not try to do
continuing battle. It'll simply add to the noise. As they say in
another group, "ignore. That means, REALLY ignore."

I also ran into the dumber members of this newsgroup such as dick
Adams, and they are firmly in my killfile as he is unable to say
anything of value. However many other posters may be brash, but they
do have something valuable to say from time to time.

Yeah, things are getting a bit overdone. For my part I have pledged
that I will not reply to anyone who flames me, either directly or
indirectly.

I have started a new thread in which I plan to report my latest
experiment so people who are interested can see what I am doing and
comment along the way. I am sure some people believe I am doing
something wrong - and it is very likely that I am - so this will give
them a chance to comment each step of the way.

It is my sincerest hope that this new thread will be instructive for
those who participate. None of this rancor would have happened if it
weren't for one insignificant troll using my first post as an
opportunity to jump me for no good reason.

If the regular posters want their forum to remain focused, then you
have to chase obvious trolls off whenever they cause trouble. I am
sorry if some of you got the wrong impression about me - I am not a
troll. But I do not turn the other cheek either.

Enough said - let's see how this latest experiment turns out.

Hi Bob,

You are remarkably skillful, and I hope that others see that as well.

All the best,

Why don't you set it up with webcam on a web site. Then, if we=20

You mean me, I guess. More of a duty than an opportunity, I'd=20
say. Well, I am just an early responder. The good reason is pretty=20
obvious by now, and it is even better than could have been guessed.

Just who is that addressed to? The regular ones have you killfiled.
Except Kenneth. Kenneth likes you. So does Igno.

I agree, I have made my own starter from scratch with great success.
I used unbleached all purpose flour and water from my reverse osmosis
system to filter out all of the chlorine of course. And it took about
two weeks to get the taste well developed, but as it turns out my
starter is a great success.

How did you get the culture started?

I mixed 1 Cup of Unbleached flour and 1/2 cup water and let it sit in
my window sill for a couple of days. "Probably not catching wild yeast
but not adding a package of store bought either." Then I kept removing
some and adding more water and flour about every 18 hours for a week
or so. When it had a massive amout of bubbles I poured it into a jar
and put it in the refrigerator. I was traveling so much then that I
would be home for two days every two weeks. When I was home I would
take it out and feed it. I did not actually make a loaf of braed until
about two months after it was started. I was afraid to eat it until I
knew that the yeast and the lactobacilli were the only two things in
that jar. I had no way to verify it, but if it could live for two
weeks without being fed and then show signs of life after coming out
of the fridge then I figured it was ok to eat. Smells and Taste great.
