Nah, my other problems are isp related. This was a worm that jumped
all over me when I tried to reply to the blender post. Woah, that was
weird.

This occurrence is totally unrelated to the post in question. There is
NOTHING in that or any other plain text post that could cause a worm to
invade your computer.

I surely do wish everyone would stop trying to tell everyone else what to
use for reading newsgroups. It's one thing if a person asks for a
recommendation; she didn't.

Then don't [censored] about problems that may be related to your poor choice
in newsreaders. OE is buggy and full of security holes. It's foolish to
use it when many free and far superior newsreaders are available.

The OP wasn't [censored] about OE. Nor was jmcquown.

So it seems that no one was [censored] about OE in this thread, except you.

She was [censored] about some worm that tried to infest her machine. My
advice was sound, none of either Jill's or your business either.
Naturally you have as much right to post your unwelcome advice to me as
I did to Nancy. Think about that.

She wasn't [censored], she was WARNING. Her A/V software caught it. In case
you aren't aware, a lot of people don't bother running A/V software.

As for none of mine or pennyaline's business, when you post a reply in a
public forum anyone and everyone is welcome to reply to you.

I use that same software and have no problems at all. Sounds like the

It always amuses me when other butt it to claim some advice is
unwelcome. I guess their [censored]^H^H^H^H advice never stinks.

No good deed goes unpunished, as they say. All I know is that trying
to reply to that message did a really weird thing, so I rebooted, then
I tried to 'reply' to other messages, no problem whatsoever. That one?
Wham, same weird thing. Rebooted, that's when McAfee told me of
this worm (it had a number and not a name) and it spent some time
updating to the latest whatever and got rid of it.

I do not know why Bock's message and no other did this to me.
What I do know is that I did not expect anyone to get [censored] with
me about it because I didn't want anyone else to get snagged.

Anyway, end of subject. To Bock, thanks for the funny potato
soup story and, you'd love a stick blender, no blender to clean
and no messy pouring back and forth.

Ah, OE, one of my "favourite" subjects... :-(

I couldn't care less about what everyone is using for *reading*
newsgroups. I do care about what everyone is using for *posting* to
newsgroups, because unless I choose to killfile or ignore the poster in
question *I* get to read the result. Microsoft Outlook Express for
Windows just doesn't cut it. For example, I notice that few, if any, of
the current rfc regular posters using that atrocity take care to avoid
the very well known bug (which was deliberately introduced by the
brain-dead MS so-called programmers) of MSOE stripping any content up to
four characters followed by a colon-space in the subject header (such as
the very common in rfc "REC: (...)" or "OT: (...)"😉 with any
consistency. This, in effect, is no different from morphing and plays
havoc with filtering. That's just one example.

Here is what I had an occasion or two to post before. In Usenet,
newsreaders are akin to clothes you wear in real life. If you happen to
*like* wearing torn, dirty and smelly clothes, people are bound to draw
certain conclusions about your person. It is no different in Usenet,
where MSOE for Windows users are almost universally regarded, at least
initially, as clueless, lazy, or stupid - or any combination of the
above. There are exceptions, but most of them are people who are forced
to use MSOE by their clueless or stupid employers or who have no option
of installing their own software on their work computers. Sounds harsh?
Tant pis.

ObFood: Roast pigeons, as served at Trattoria I Bologna, Asti, Piedmont.
The recipe is from "The Food of North Italy" by Luigi Veronelli.

Victor

Piccioni arrostiti al rosmarino
Roast pigeons with rosemary

This presentation for small fowl is a classic with the flavours of
rosemary, garlic, and brandy guaranteed to please.

6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 young pigeons, cleaned, trimmed and halved
4 cloves garlic, crushed
9 sprigs rosemary
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, extra
1/2 cup (125 ml) brandy

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C, gas mark 6).

Heat a large skillet over high heat. Heat half of the oil, then add the
pigeons and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until browned on all sides.

Grease a large, deep casserole dish, about 3 litre (12 cup) capacity,
with the remaining oil. Add the garlic and 3 sprigs rosemary, stirring
to evenly distribute. Add the browned pigeons and salt and pepper,
tossing to coat. Drizzle with extra oil and place casserole in oven.
Cook for 30 minutes, basting occasionally with the liquid that gathers
at the bottom of the casserole.

When pigeons are almost cooked through, add brandy to casserole. Return
to oven and cook for 5 minutes or until the brandy has evaporated.

Arrange the pigeons on 4 individual serving plates and spoon over
cooking liquid. Garnish plates with remaining sprigs rosemary and serve
immediately.

Learn to love your right click menu. OE isn't a problem for me -
unless I have to use it (which is never).

Agreed which is why I went to Mac. I would suggest Tauscan, Adaware,
Spybot, and a good AV program not to mention something that wipes
windows. On top of that, go in and clean your cache as well as cookies.
Block certain cookies from ever being set again if they are adware.
Then do a clean sweep if using windows and defrag your computer.
Honestly Mac is so much easier. No need to worry about all the other
[censored] 😉

Nancy, I think it was nice of you to send a heads up. I always used
Outlook not Outlook Express then DSIL finally talked me into going to
Mac instead of PC. Outlook is nice because it has all the organizer
things like calendar, to-do, memo, etc. I use the PC for applications
that don't need to go online with the exception of one that goes right
to its parent site to be updated. I use the Mac for the majority of
online activities. It's really all about choice. If you like OE use it
and don't worry about those who don't like it. Mac has a version of
Outlook but for some reason I couldn't get it to sync with my PDA. I
have virtual PC but only use it occasionally and it isn't protected to
go online. I really miss Outlook.

I have a stick blender yet seldom use it. DD gave it to me for
Christmas a few years ago. It's a funky purple one with an orange cord
and yellow things for hanging that look like duck's feet. I don't use
it very often but when I do, I'm always pleased with the results. It's
great for sauces too.
