I disagree in a way... In my case I frequently read you posts with great
interest.  Almost as I read a book, either for enjoyment and/or for
knowledge. So I seldom HAVE questions, and usually have no comments because
I have never been to the location, or know nothing about the subject. So
strangley enough, your best posts, with literary value and good prose, are
less apt to get a reply from me.  Probably others, too.

I also have noted that when I write some sort of narrative I usually don't
get replies.  When I ask questions I am more apt to get replies.

The old Users Manual that came with our original Microwave noted that
covering and briefly MWing stale bread/rolls etc. was a way of making them
fresher.

If I remember correctly, it said the MW caused moisture inside the bread to
be released as vapor and condensed on the fibers, creating a 'fresh' taste.
That may be why pizza gets limp when MVd.

I read that and hoped so strongly that it was not MY reason that I
remembered why I did it.  Each time I uploaded a recipe I added the current
date to the growing list.  Thus when I checked my copy for possible
reupload
I could see if I just uploaded it, or if I had uploaded it too many times.
