Hi Bev, sorry if it seemed that way.  Notice that I said "y'all".  It 
wasn't so much your innocent question, although it seems to have an 
obvious answer to me (put the side that's softest next to your body, 
regardless).  It was the barrage of (unread) responses on what seems 
like a trivial topic.  I once posted on how I had learned to use hops to 
purify sourdough yeast so that you'd never have to buy another hi-tech 
packet of yeast again, before you were on the list.  Not one response.  
I can't help but think that if "Tvoivozhd" had posted it, or someone 
else deemed politically correct, the adulation would have been endless.  
I call it "loss of integrity" when one has to discredit or minimize 
someone because one is looking forward to the next politcal argument, 
and one can't let one's "opponent" be right about anything, nor show any 
interest in whey they say, just to set a precedent (I changed all the 
yous in that sentence to ones, lest I should unintentionally offend 
you).  It really has nothing to do with you, although I do have some old 
questions about how you've treated me in the past.

Anyway, there's talk of us making the big trip from LA to Oregon 
starting tonight, so I'll have to wait to read your doubtlessly 
illuminating response.

If there's any doubt about this being primarily a political rag, check 
the archive.
