She (among many others) has been trolling rec.pets.cats.anecdotes about an
issue which originated in rec.pets.cats.health+behav. When trolls hit rpca
we start posting recipes or food related stuff. She picked up on the
pressure cooker thread that was posted over there and I guess decided it
belongs here, too. (sigh) I killfiled her last week after she started
insulting a very good friend of most of us over there. I suggest, unless
she starts posting food stuff here without the cross-postings, you do the
same.
