  3. I think you need first to allow the accused the right to a fair hearing,
    and the opportunity to be found 'not guilty' before sentencing him.

    Do you think that you can prove the accusation implicit in that assertion?

    Do you think that 'twelve good men and true', with no connection with
    urc, would be persuaded beyond all reasonable doubt to convict?

    Or perhaps you see yourself the self-proclaimed, judge, jury, and
    executioner.

  4. INGREDIENTS:
    1/2 cup shortening
    1 cup brown sugar
    1/4 cup white sugar
    2 eggs
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
    1 teaspoon baking powder
    1/2 teaspoon baking soda
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
    1/2 cup milk
    2 cups apple - peeled, cored, and chopped
    1/4 cup shortening
    2 cups sifted confectioners' sugar
    1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    1 pinch ground nutmeg
    1/4 cup evaporated milk
    DIRECTIONS:
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9
    inch square pan. Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda,
    salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Set aside.
    In a large bowl, cream together the shortening, brown sugar and white
    sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir
    in the vanilla. Beat in the flour mixture alternately with the milk,
    mixing just until incorporated. Stir in the chopped apples.
    Spread batter evenly in prepared pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 35
    to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the
    cake comes out clean. Allow to cool.
    To make the frosting: In a medium bowl, combine 1/4 cup shortening,
    confectioners' sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. Beat until light and creamy.
    Beat in the milk, one tablespoon at a time, until desired spreading
    consistency is achieved. Spread over top of cooled cake.

    Perhaps you would supply them and people could add them to their
    killfile en masse.

    Actually I don't think that would be proper for me to do.

    This "killfiling", "plonking" is very much a personal thing and I have
    learned in the past to do it quietly just for my own reasons. There are
    exceptions like "TrollB" who are just out and out bores and nuisances and
    need to be exiled publicly -- but by individuals. They can quickly ruin a
    NG by their persistent presence. Just have a look at those on the US
    rec.bicycle.misc (and some of the others) for some prime examples.

    Funnily enough I reviewed my killfile about a month ago and resurrected a
    lot of addresses.. It is quite interesting how many of those have resumed
    their position back in the graveyard within that month -- across the board
    on different NG's

    Two weeks to getting my new ICE Q NT ! Roll on. I am getting more excited
    than my grandson does at Christmas

    That is as silly a question as "Can you shout out if you can't hear
    me?"

    You're probably right (morally speaking), however anyone who wants to do
    the work can just go searching Google's usenet archive.

    To be fair, there are worse examples than TrollB (IMHO). Take a look at,
    for instance, alt.rec.bicycles.recumbent ...

    Some time back tin added time-limited filters. Now people only get a 28

    Not quite - in your question, you can't tell the difference between hear/not
    hear (silence both ways), but in mine the two answers are silence and "no".

    I think I asked pinky to put me in his kill file to cover the possibility
    that I may say something which offended him at some point in the future.

    Helpful links for the hard of thinking:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Court_of_law

    If JT wants to "convict" you in /this/ forum (ie a newsgroup) of being a
    boring, trolling [censored], he is perfectly entitled to do so.

    The fact that he is correct is strictly irrelevant.

    I have a single recipe which works, but since if I post it he will change
    things so it doesn't I'm not going to. People who are struggling may if
    they wish mail me.

    it is your response that has brought this to my attention

    Do not worry Clive, I would never disappoint you by failing to honour your
    request. You are guaranteed your location in my killfile -- as are others
    who were stupid enough to request such action.

    I do not miss their input,
