Considering that he was a new poster with dumb question and the invalid
email address, I assumed it was a the product of summer break.

Lots of people have invalid email addresses. What, new posters aren't
allowed? I didn't think the question was dumb. It was on topic and
wasn't a request for "recipes from Europe".

True. There are lots of people using invalid email addresses. There are
a lot of them in my filter.

Why who you ask that? Where did I say they are not allowed. I simply
said that I assumed it was the product of a summer break. I didn't
bother replying and I pretty well ignored the thread, admittedly on the
assumption that it was just a matter of people replying to a troll.
So... I went back and read his replies. He wants grated Parmesan but
objects to the grind he got from the store, wants am electric gizmo to
do it for him and doesn't think that he will be able to tell the
difference if his freshly grated Parmesan has been sitting around for a
long time. I am not discounting summer break.

That's the way Usenet rolls these days. New posters are viewed with
suspicion. The lack of new blood is partly the reason for Usenet's
moribund state. Like I said, Americans are short-sighted. I don't
understand the part about the invalid email address either.

What is it that you don't get? Is it the use of munged address or the
perceived objection to them. I don't have a problem with people munging
their email addresses to avoid unsolicited mail, especially the bulk
crap. However, it is common practice for spammers and trolls to do it,
so when you I see munged addresses with other troll factors the address
issue us just one more reason to be suspect.

I have no idea what you're trying to say. What's wrong with using fake
email addresses? So spammers and trolls use them - so what? Thanks for
muddying up the waters.

Boy, this is confusing... so what you're saying is that posters like you
should use gmail addresses? How does that work?

Easy. You can forward your gmail to what you use as your regular
email address. If an address shifting stalker or spammer starts to
bother you, just untick the box to forward email to your main address.

I have never been stalked or harassed on Usenet, I've never even gotten a
hateful email, so I must be a really boring person.

Just wait, you never know when it could happen. Many years ago, I posted
a rotkohl recipe in this newsgroup, and I was stalked all over usenet by
a nutcase. I have no idea who he was, which is why I am now using Ema
Nymton (backwards, NotMyName). On Facebook I use my picture and my real
name, it is easy to get rid of stalkers, there.

I'm pretty sure DavidW has posted here in the past.

Yep, I'm pretty sure I have, too. I can't keep up with everyone who
posts only occasionally but I've seen that nickname. It wasn't a stupid
post.

Last summer break? March break?

Look at the big picture. He didn't like the grated parmesan from the
deli because it was too fine. He wants fresh ground parmesan but wants
to do it in large batches do it will be handy, and doesn't think he can
tell the difference if it has been sitting for a while.

Hell.... it is almost as blatantly obvious as Julie.

No, I don't particularly want to do it in large batches, but if you get the
deli to do it then you are going to get a large batch.

I'm not sure if I could tell the difference. Maybe I could, but I haven't made
a direct comparison yet. My preference is freshly grated if it's quick and easy
and it's the right texture.

> Hell.... it is almost as blatantly obvious as Julie.

Not being a regular that's gone over my head.

Not seeing why the email address is relevant. It's a real person posting
regardless.

Yes, I post here occasionally.
