No, certainly you are not OT. What I find annoying (maybe it's just me),
are what appears to be an intended post for every single item you have a
question about. Why not write one big query covering everything you have
questions about and be done with it. I know I would certainly prefer
answering that way.

Perhaps almost too well thought out. Twenty questions posed surrounding
one item is a little too anal, AFAIC. Also, if you know how things work;
e.g., the food mill, the blender, the food processor, then you should be
able to figure out on your own which choice to make for your purpose. If
you don't know how things work, then you need to research that first.

If you've researched post on this newgroups, then you must have noticed
that most well constructed questions asked here are a fraction of the
length of yours, even though they are just as specific.

Yes, I will probably ignore your future posts unless they are obviously
better constructed with a focus on economy of word and, perhaps,
consolidation.

Good luck!
