**Steve "Calvin" wrote in his farewell address speech to alt.cooking-
chat 6/19/2010...

I've half-heartedly said it before, but this time it's a done deal -
I'm
bidding ac-c adieu. I've tried to help but it seems that I've just
****ed a lot of people off over the years, been KF'd etc.. Believe
me,
it was totally unintended. (well... for the most part. ;-) ) Could I
have morphed into another id as so many others to? You betcha. Not
going
to happen. I'm me, period. I'm a brutally honest person and that
seems
to be unpopular. Oh well. That's me and I ain't changing so I'm going
to
"give up".

Reply if you choose, but I'm removing this group from my usenet
server
so it's not gonna get to me - seriously - I'm done here. I've tried
to
help when I could but it seems as though I've failed. Such is life.
**** happens, suck it up and move on...

To those of you whom I've "known" for years (and hopefully you know
who
you are), I do mean:

***Seems you were the one doing all the bickering Steve when anyone
decided to challenge a receipe or cooking technique or anything that
had to do with food in general...I still remember you lambasting some
poor lady over the prep of a roasted porkloin and whether or not
garlic should/could be used in a Joe's Special...You are as arrogant
as they come Steve and the Trolls know your M.O and will continue to
shadow you wherever you post, to let the masses in on your little
secret, EGO MANIAC. No one elses point of view matters, only yours!
You are the EXPERT Steve, you've been telling us that for almost a
decade now!...Bwahahahaha!

Congrats is in order on your "Resignation Day"...Well done Steve, you
rode rough-shot over this group for years and it wasn't until recently
the Trolls showed up here to show you up and put an end to your
private little play pen...Happy trails SeaTraveller Steve (aka Steve
Kombat Kramer, and 15 sock puppets, formerly of Chaing Mai Thailand
and now parts unknown)...We'll all miss you like a bad case of diahrea
after eating one of your God aweful receipes...See ya soon on some
other MB Pinkie, the Trolls will be searching for you with a fine
tooth comb...*grin, sh%t eatin style*

Sincerely,

Your Friends from the Distinguished Troll Society
