You are aware that they're people who didn't qualify for Google Groups,

I kinda knew that. The author of the famously stupid lasagna question was a
webtv idiot, too.

Because sqz sets his WebTV text to black on black just to bewilder them.

Hi rabbit. I don't think that NZ has webtv so it's probably best just to
note who makes disparaging remarks about it and it's users and note the
names. You'll see that they are frequently obnoxious about all sorts of
things and to all sorts of people for very little reason. They will attack
any user without knowing anything else about them other than the fact that
they use this thing.

Yeah, but even before they see his messages, webtv users all seem like
short-bus graduates.

Thank you! I actually tried to come up with a suitable modifier and
failed. I got as far as "slutty", but then my mind got to wondering
and...well, you know how it goes.

Only one teaspoon of sugar? How much vinegar do you use?

AFAIAA, most ginger root that is "soaked" (read pickled) in vinegar
(e.g. gari) normally has a ratio of 3 cups vinegar to 2 cups sugar and
most recipes I've seen call for rubbing 2 teaspoons of salt on the
ginger before soaking (and then leaving it in the fridge for a while;
some say a few hours - one recipe said a for a whole week! - before
soaking) so I don't think your method will work all that well... JMHO,
of course.

However, the idea is there...

BTW, welcome to the group. May I suggest you get yourself a pair of
flame-proof undies and/or a flak-jacket if you're planning on sticking
around?

LOL Dave owns a BBQ restaurant, I doubt you could teach him much. (By the
way, he's correct about using capitalization and punctuation.) Of course,
in the U.S. the term BBQ doesn't mean "anything cooked on a grill". BBQ is
a very specific type of long slow cooking of meat over wood or lump
charcoal; sometimes smoked, sometimes not.

So, Libby, are you going to start talking about FOOD or COOKING any time
soon? You could either post a recipe, or browse the many threads that are
going and contribute to them (we have a nice cheesecake holy war going on
right now . Starting a thread complaining about another person is a Bad
Plan.

obFood: My cold has recovered to the point where I can actually taste the
spices in my chai (Oregon Chai classic, cut 1:1 with water as milk is a
bad idea when you've got sinussy stuff) today. I might be able to have a
burger in a couple of days. YEE HAW.

You can suggest all you want, with webtv you don't have ANY options to
download anything. You can use webtv's interface or you can go with google.

On Mon, 7 Jan 2008 18:16:08 -0500, I don't even have to look at their
headers to know that this person is using WebTV, where my posts are
disguised.
I oughta respond a few times just to make them even more confused ;-)
For anybody else that wants to keep WebTV'ers from reading your posts,
look at my headers and choose the obvious line to add to your own
headers.

----I have no idea what all the fuss is about.Ive never had a problem
reading Steves posts or any other blackouts.No...I did not go to Google
groups..I use yahoo for my freecycling etc.Its a very simple fix and
only requires hitting 2 keys on the keyboard no matter what color the
text is included in the header to be able to read them.After 15 years on
the net,you learn these things......

Good to be posting again
Have a great day

---------------
Thats very true,you cant.Although,Ive suddenly been able to 'download'so
they call it my credit card statements.They fixed the site so you
can..strange.Also you must consider what you use the net for'If its just
to send email or make webpages and many other things ,especially where
the expense of a computer is prohibitive,it serves the purpose.I only
have one because it was given to me as a birthday gift in 1992,and Ive
replaced it once.Ive found I can do most things as with a computer,to
suit my needs,send photos,make pages,do my banking on line ,pay
bills,etc.If In ever need to go farther ,I,ll get a puter for more heavy
stuff
Some people cant afford a computer,are too old,or dont want to
bother with all the techie stuff.Thousands of Seniors use it just to
keep in touch with family across miles,or are lonely ,thats all they use
it for and couldnt put out big bucks(or small) for a computer..Its easy
for the elderly to use.,so its not always a matter of choice,its what
affordable or managable.My relative just put out mucho dollars on a
puter,with all the bangs and whistles,just email and doesnt have a clue
what do do with it otherwise.....

Although I generally find them amusing more than abusive. That is,
as long as they aren't a habit...

It's never a bad idea to look at a ng's FAQ:

I think of webtv as people dipping their toes into the waters of the
internet, kicking the tires.... trying to decide if they want to buy a
computer or not.

Note to WebTV: You can get a real computer for very little now and
you can find low cost or free computer lessons many places.

For a good deal on a Dell notebook (I'm looking at this for myself)
