I hope Ian reports your forged post to the police as an example of harrassment and incitement to others to hassle him using his address and phone number.

Paolo, the sysop at Aioe, would hand over your IP in a trice to help find the source of this harrassment. The internet has changed a lot in recent years and doxing someone by posting their personal details online is now taken much more seriously.

For best results microwave from frozen. Remove one sachet of rice from orig inal packaging. Place directly into the microwave, ensuring the writing sid e of the sachet is facing up. Heat on FULL POWER and allow to stand for 1 m inute before serving. Take care when opening the sachet as the contents wil l be very hot. Check food is piping hot. Do not reheat once cooled. All coo king appliances vary. This is a guide only. (800W: 3 1/2 minutes, 900W: 3 m inutes, 1000W: 2 1/2 minutes)

I find it a little odd that there are moans in this thread and every one of them quotes the offending post with its supposed personal details. Everyone says this is something new, it most certainly is not. It happened to me back in the 1990s. There are unfortunately idiots about and always have been. It is not as much of a problem having your details put up as you might think. After all most of the info is in the voters lists or public available in any case. What is probably most annoying is that somebody bothers to post such things and try to suggest falsehoods. However many posts can today be traced back much better than back in the early days when most idiots who posted untruths used a Norwegian post annonymising server which was not keeping records.

I guess being childish is never going to change at all, so just don your fireproof undies and life will go on. I fully realise by responding to this thread I am probably going to be a target, but I'd rather any new folk realise that its not a new issue and not as serious as you might think, than get all bitter and twisted over it all. Now back to the rough and tumble of Usenet. Brian

I don't but Androids are the worst. I mean somebody was walking in the country a few weeks ago when an alert popped up about an eatery about a third of a mile away. Brian

Actually, legal spoofing is often used to make emails from groups with political agendas seem like they come from famous people as well. As in... From: Sir Patrick Stewart - People's Vote To: Brian Gaff Message-ID: Subject: Join me to demand a People's Vote. Together, we can make it so

Not very original is it? But hey everyone has an angle! That is another thing Keep plenty of free throw away email addresses. Then you can see where the harvesters have been most active. Brian

"too thick" ....

What is the penalty for poor grammar or spelling ?.

[Andrew]

That should read for "safe" results.

Reheating previously cooked rice is very dangerous. The food manufacturers who make the cook-chill stuff go to extreme lengths to prevent any contamination during the cooking and packaging.

[Andrew]

If you want horrible soggy rice, like school dinner rice-pudding then that's how the English do it.

The correct way is to WASH the (white) rice first, then cook it.

For many drivers they are an extension of the roadway, or somewhere to park, with hazard flashers on.

Only if using shit rice.

[Chris Hogg]

Would that be brown rice then?

[Jimmy Wilkinson Knife]

What silly government health warnings have you been reading?

[Jimmy Wilkinson Knife]

RACIST!

[samchunk]

I never wash it first and never get soggy rice when done like that.

[samchunk]

Oh bullshit.

There is no 'contamination' that makes it very dangerous at home.

[The Natural Philosopher]

I used to wash it first, but gave up after not doing it once and finding it exactly te same. But I generally only cook basmati.

Soggy rice is all about which rice type you use. Jasmine will make soggy glutinous rice if there is a hint of too much water. IIRC the rice for risotto always does. As does rice sold as 'pudding' rice. Long grain is generaslly OK IIRC - havent cooked it in years tho.

[The Natural Philosopher]

Yup. chill for one day or freeze indefinitely.

I generally cook 4 meals worth and freeze it.

[samchunk]

I cook most types of white rice. Don?t bother with brown rice.

Can't say I have ever bothered with that rice myself, got turned off by it and porridge when I was a kid.

Long grain is

I still do and never get soggy rice.
