I've been reading your group for the past week or so. Something puzzles me.......who or what is Squertz that only has the fake addresses on a black screen. Is this a troll, or am I missing something? By the way, I've been enjoying the conversations. Libby |

You are a webTV user, right? Chances are the problem is on your end. Squertz' messages always look normal to me. As far as fake addresses, all smart newsgroups users have those. If you have a real computer at home, you will be a much happier person if you use that to access newsgroups, instead of webtv. |

Why are these webtv people always so confused? What does their newsgroup interface look like? |

Wow! Thanks everybody for making me feel so welcome! I knew a lot of you were really smart asses, but I didn't think every response would be so off-putting. By the way, Webtv has a great format for reading discussion groups. I won't bother you again. Libby |

WebTVers are not much liked in this newsgroup. You'd best move on before something really nasty happens to you. For example, Squertz has been known to post the "logic bomb" which will reprogram your WebTV to make it unusable. You really don't want that to happen. Hope this helps! :-) |

I do find using a fake webtv address for accessing these groups is a boon, though. I suspect most webtv'ers access these groups through webtv's "Discuss" feature. It's a real pain for anything that is not behind the firewall. A 'puter is MUCH easier. Although I do access these groups through Google I'm going to try terranews. Just got to do a bit of study/research first before I commit. |

Really? Then why is it that when we see a user who is clearly unable to figure out where they are in a discussion or who they're responding to, 95% of the time, it's a webtv user? 3% are google users and the rest are simply retarded. |

I should have gone to google groups before I posted. Now I can see that sqwertz isn't worth reading anyway. I can read newsgroups that way, but prefer the webtv format so I don't read the same one over again. So no, squertz.....you haven't blocked anything with your 'firewall'. |

Maybe i could teach dave ?? Maybe you could teach me. What is your ginger beef recipe, if you'd care to share. If not.. that's okay too. Thanks for the beef and lamb info, I had no idea. |

I think the really important part is to soak the ginger slices in white vineager and a teaspoon of white suger for two hours while you also marinate the beef in soy sauce and cornflour. This brings the two flovours together along with the fresh capsicum and shallots.... Delicious served with fluffy rice!! Where are you from and I am sure you must have a favourate food?? |

Yes. Don't bother to read (much less respond to) the scummy *******s.
