I'm of late developing the opinion that if it doesn't require refrigeration,
it's probably not something I want to eat.  Bit that's just me.

My deep freeze looks like a butcher shop and my fridge looks like a tropical
rain forest.  I'm pretty happy with that.  Used to be if I found something
green in the fridge it meant tossing on fridge-cleaning day.

Yes!  Heaven forbid!  What would happen if everyone actually APPLIED what they
once learned in school in their everyday lives?  They would REMEMBER appropriate
usage and grammar, hence the appearance of KNOWLEDGE of at least one topic, not
to mention the pleasure and privilege of having a semblance of pride in oneself.
Instead, you purport to know the basics of grammar, yet you choose to appear
ignorant because you believe it doesn't matter how you say something *here*?
Hmmmm.  In what situations do you actually apply yourself?  Really.  I'm
curious.

The more you bring it up, the more this group is about the things you say it
isn't about.  Aahhh, the irony.

eff

It shouldn't matter, but it sometimes does. Most people here don't know
each other outside of this newsgroup, so we depend on clues of intelligence
level (for various reasons). We all try to attach a degree of credibility
to whatever we read.

Having said that, I'm not an exclusionist person by nature. I'd rather
point out to someone willing to listen the difference between to, two, and
too, rather than imply ignorance. To me, it is just a way of being
exclusionary ("There's us smart folks, and those dumbfu... uh dumb folks").
After all, we can usually understand what is being communicated.

I know plenty of PhD's that have extremely substandard writing skills, and
it means nothing about their intelligence. Rather, it means more about
their level of attention to that particular area. In a newsletter I
publish, a Neurosurgeon submits articles that I constantly have to edit,
and I'm by no means an editor. I don't think it makes him an idiot. I think
other things, but not that he's an idiot.

On the internet, you'll find there are plenty of people, not just JC
supporters, who feel if you don't take your posts seriously enough to give
them some attention, you shouldn't expect anyone else to take them
seriously either. The worse your writing, the greater the need for content.

So, have all your Low Carb questions been answered so far?

That's fine.  It's fine if you don't care about grammar.  If you don't care
one way or the other, why not just do it right?  It will help people
understand you better.  Remember, there are folks here who do not speak
English as their first language.   Do you know how hard it is to understand
a foreign language when a lot of the words are misspelled or misused?  
Someone may miss something important. For instance, I don't understand what
you mean by "you and he go to places with people that is not nice."  Maybe
you have said something really insightful here that would help me grow as a
person, but it comes across as gibberish.  It _seems_ like you are saying
that JC and I go to places with people, and that's not nice.  I think it
_is_ nice to go to places with people, I went out to a movie with my sister
today, and it was nice.  I don't understand why you think it isn't nice to
go places with people. So I assume that wasn't what you meant, but I have
no clue what you actually did mean.  I'm not saying you need to be perfect,
heck everyone misspells a word here and there, that's normal for an
informal type of writing.  But the way you write is beyond the pale, it
looks like you don't care if people even understand you.  It's not nice.

Just like 99% of your posts to this newsgroup.

And stayed to become the newsgroup nanny?

Done something really silly? Hmmmm, you consider eating less and exercising
more silly?

Then ignore whoever you don't think is "nice" rather than bringing even more
attention to them.

Ahhh ok I see. So we're only good enough to give you answers to your
questions so you can be lazy and not have to bother looking things up
yourself?

So when exactly do *you* plan on posting about low carb? So far, except for
a couple of questions a few days ago, all I've seen you post are rants and
warnings about JC.
<sarcasm>Oh and that really interesting list of stuff that's been passed
around the internet for years that you didn't even bother to mark OT.
</sarcasm>

You are so right! f.ck writing like an intelligent adult. f.ck it
right in the ear!

I mean, damn. I can't imagine what the world would be like if we had
to appear as literate as we did in *high school* to be considered
halfway intelligent.

Because it's not like using proper grammar or spelling actually, well,
matters.

Idiot.

Hey Carol - Spam has made a very important contribution to North
American cuisine! After all, if it weren't for Spam, we wouldn't know
just how bad food could get!!! LOL ;)

How about one for Sentient Beings for Disassociating from Deeder?

Why can't you spell "jealous" correctly? Is Canadian education really that
bad?

Now you own a business.

It just gets better and better.

Well, since you admit you don't know a lot about computers, I'll help you a
bit.

First lesson: this is an unmoderated newsgroup.  That means anyone can post
anything they want, it is uncensored.

Second lesson: You can read and respond to whatever is posted here.  You
can also choose to ignore anything that is posted here.

Third lesson: If you post a question, you are going to get some people who
don't understand your question, some people throwing insults out, some
people making puns or other jokes, some people slamming each other for
misspellings, some people going off on tangents that have nothing to do
with your question, and maybe, just maybe, a gem or two of helpful advice
buried in the middle of all of it.  And then of course you'll get posts
arguing with the advice and calling it a bunch of crap, and citing 20+
websites backing up the claim, and then you'll get 20+ websites rebutting
the first claim, and eventually someone will compare someone to Hitler or
Sadaam Hussein and it's all just downhill from there.

Fourth lesson: google, as in www.google.com archives usenet posts.  If you
go to "groups" then "advanced groups search" you can type in this group and
search for posts in numerous ways.  By poster, by date, by heading, by
keyword, etc. and you can easily and quickly find answers to questions that
have already been asked.  You can also, if you're a stalker, go read every
thing I've ever posted and learn much more about me than any sane person
would want to know, and then you would see how amazingly cool I really am.  

You don't know about Google but you somehow managed to find your way
onto Usenet?

I must be the peanut gallery, 'cause I don't know the difference.
