    I've never tried pistachio nut or anything pistachio flavoured. Am I
    really missing something here?

    Yes! However, the store bought pistachio ice cream can be, um,
    well,
    not so nice. Homemade is best, but I am sure there are premium brands
    out there or ice cream shop or gelato versions that are much better.

    Pistachio flavoured items are not so big here. Pistachios themselves,
    roasted and salted, are easily available.However, I've never seen a
    commercial brand of pistachio icecream. I've bought a cone of pistachio
    gelato at specialist gelato bars, but that's about it. Oh, one year the
    supermarket I use had fresh pistachios (still inside the fruit) for sale in
    little punnets. They were nice, but I don't think I've seen them since.

    This thread has morphed into little more than a collection of your

    Unless she's been posting as that "james" guy to RFC for months and
    months, it wasn't her. Didn't you check Google? You seem to have a
    good handle on this so maybe I missed something, but the aol address I
    had for this "james" guy came up with a few posts every month in various
    groups. They were pretty benign posts, too, nothing trollish about them
    until the pizza pic. He even posted to alt.support.childfree a day
    after he posted his "i made a pizza" post.
    But if you have other info I'd be happy to hear it.

    <sigh>. I guess she's not going to tell us that was really *her*
    posting her pizza pic under a different name to see if it got any
    more attention than when she posted it with her usual name.

    Unless she's been posting as that "james" guy to RFC for months and
    months, it wasn't her. Didn't you check Google? You seem to have a
    good handle on this so maybe I missed something, but the aol address I
    had for this "james" guy came up with a few posts every month in various
    groups. They were pretty benign posts, too, nothing trollish about them
    until the pizza pic. He even posted to alt.support.childfree a day
    after he posted his "i made a pizza" post.
    But if you have other info I'd be happy to hear it.

    Yeah - I saw his posting history. I suspect that James is a
    friend of some sort. I mailed him a friendly note a couple times,
    but "it" never replied. There would seem to be two different
    personalities posting from that address. One uses capital
    letters, the other doesn't. IME, that's not something you turn on
    and off. You always do it one way or the other, not both.

    It's really the only thing that makes any sense anymore.
