I must agree with Philippa on this. This gentle presented us with yet
another insulting and uneducated posting to say the least. Although I
would not presume to speak for anyone else, after much off-line
discussion, I know many cooks within the whole knowne world that feel
exactly the same. Its a shame that this has gone this far. Perhaps the
Lady in question (her Hiney) should make a showing, because it sure
appears that she has insulted and ran and now has others (Lance T.
Udell) doing her mopping up. I sincerely hope this is not the case and
I would like to hear if she has anything further to add.
