I guess I don't really care what you think personally. Two people I think
offered me real suggestions. The others offered me suggestions to a
question I didn't ask. I know how to make enchiladas and all sorts of
Mexican food. What I don't know is how to cook chicken because I don't EAT
chicken!

And what have you added to all of this? Nothing. You're just picking at
me.
