This new round of Google posts are getting out of hand.

They don't bother me, as long as they quote...

It's not the quoting issue for me - I have a newsreader that's
set to collapse quotes anyway. 75% of all Google posts are
trash. Next time you see some spam or a post that makes no
sense, look at the headers and you'll see it came from google
most of the time.

Now be fair... Y'all know that I'm being FORCED to use Google due to
computer problems.
Only web-based posting works, none of the news browsers will. :-(


No one should have to apologize for where they are posting. If Steve
Wertz or Joe Schmoe has an issue with google, aol or webtv; I'd say,
"life's a bitch, then you die." In the grand spectrum of things, if
something as petty as that sets him off....well, life must be rather
boring.

This is excluding me from posting to binary groups which sux. I can
read them, just not post.
I belong to a graphics art list that I was fairly active on too, as
well as the binary food group.

I'm fixin' to re-build my computer and upgrade to OS-X 4.0 (or so) as
right now I'm running 10.2.8 so if I'm going to rebuild everything, I
may as well do it right.

It's going to take a few hours once I get started. With this rainstorm,
I don't know if I can get to Austin today or not. <sigh>

I'll be back hopefully with MT Newswatcher eventually.

Again, you should not have to justify what you do with your computer.
As I posted a few weeks ago, the playfull bantering, discussions and
occassional recipes and food discussions, were all of great help to me
while I was going through my cancer treatment. It helped me escape
from thoughts of cancer and all of the fearful emotions that I had. It
has also opened up my eyes to what is "really" important in life.
Where someone posts from just "ain't" on that list. The car you drive,
the house you live in or what your posting address is not worth getting
your panties in a knot.

We all have 24 hours in a day. What we do with those hours mentally,
physically and emotionally is up to us. We can spend those hours
judging others and sticking our noses where it doesn't belong or we can
actively live our own lives; it's all about choices.

You can post from wherever the heck you like and I'm not going to judge
you OmManiPadmeOmelet. You can quote or not quote. You can even
mis-spell. The bottom line is the spirit in which it was written.
Period.

Now....back to eggs and bananas. I guess we should wash them :-)

Actually, although I feel less worried about washing organic food, the
stuff that has pesticides on them should always be washed. Especially
stuff that is imported from other countries (which have different
pesticide laws that the US). I was told that fruits such as melons and
bananas should always be washed with soap and water before cutting them
open. I use Dr. Bronner's peppermint soap with a soft brush.
(actually, Trader Joe's has a brand of that peppermint soap that I've
used more recently)

Cheers!
Om the frustrated (but at least I quickly learned how to quote <G>)
