My opinions are NOT reflected by my posting

Look, the last link I posted to you was from the actual newspaper's archives. Do you need any help in reading it?

And you haven't provided any links yet. I take it you can't prove the contrary.
Look at the link again. Only this time, read it carefully.
I am not too keen to communicate with a brick wall.
Your kitchen appliances should be your friend, NOT your enemy. If you know how to cook you could make large batches of food that could be stored away for later use by either vacuum-packed freezer bags or home canning. Not only do you get far fresher food, but also you skip out on a lot of the chemicals in store-bought food that can occasionally cause no end of problems in children. Maybe the Mormons--with their strong emphasis on home canning--have the right idea?
My aunt does just that. No processed food in their home ever. And by the way, they grow many of their own vegetables, that too in Connecticut, of all places!

LOL! Blatant are the games that one plays.

???Oh, excuse me. My "View source selection" cut off a word?
My opinions are NOT reflected by my posting behaviour.
Interesting. Are you British / UK ????
Thought you may find this interesting. Apparantly, some people on this forum think I am anti-Hindu, anti-India or something.
No, I am from India. But yes, I post articles from other news sites that I find are relevent to Indo-US discussions, hence the "don't reflect my opinion" part. If you've seen my earlier posts, you will notice that I'm all for President Bush's policy of getting closer with India. We too have common enemies, you know, the Chinese on one side and the Islamists on the other.
But why, may I ask, did you think I was British?
Funny... ;)
In case you weren't aware, it was me (besides others) who had posted an article on FR, where a poll conducted showed India, Poland and Thailand as the only three countries besides the US, among the rest of the world, whose citizens had a favourable opinion to Bush's II term victory.
I'm not up to speed on our relations with India. None of my
posts reflect adverse opinion or objection to your posts.I just found your profile page interesting and humorous (or
'humourous', if you prefer).:^)
But why, may I ask, did you think I was British?Simply from the way that you spelled "behaviour" on your
profile page.Americans spell it "behavior", while the British (and those
with British influence), spell it "behaviour".The British share a lot of history with India, right?
Well, we sure thank India (and Poland and Thailand) for that, too, then!Thanks.
Oh! I was all along thinking I ticked you off somewhere, and I was wondering where. Anyway, thanks for the compliments.
By the way, if you think I am posting too many India-related posts here, I'd be thankful to you if you could indicate to me if I am being inconsiderate.
Well, yes. We are a union and a functioning democracy, thanks to the British. But it wasn't entirely due to them that we are a free country. For example, Pakistan was created the same time out of the erstwhile British-Indian empire, but fumbled from being a democracy pretty early on, in spite of being of the same ethnicity as the rest of the Indians. And on the English language, I find that American English is a lot more practical than the other forms of it, but, as you would be aware, old habits die hard, and hence my preference for spelling words with 'our' instead of 'or'.
Being an engineering student, I often have to go through American and British books for many of my study subjects, and I've always found American books far more straightforward and easy to understand, than British ones. You may have noticed that too, especially when it comes to reading the occasional instruction manuals!
Oops, the above post should have been addressed to you.
How is this an attack on Hinduism? It's not. Hinduism is a marvellous, plural, religion. It accepts those who eat beef and those who don't. So, end of issue
