In fact, I remember the story. You deserve a paddling for throwing it out!

I've got two starters in the back of my freezer. One is Carl's 1847, the
other from Doug (& Marie) in Canada. When Sai's machine arrives, I'll fire
up Doug's starter, as I suspect he may have moved on to that heavenly
ferment. I've never used a bread machine, so doing sourdough in it may turn
out to be a challenge. I'll keep you informed on r.f.s.
