I'm not saying I'm incapable of more aggressive or 'stricter' moderating. I just see it as non-desirable, whether I do it, or anyone else does. As Phil says, everyone needs more self-control, respect, or whatever.  Everyone will have different ideas on what should be moderated. To bring in some kind of sheriff and his deputies to clean up the forum would be a disaster.

Neither is it too much for me to handle because I'm not checking every single word - what a thankless task that would be.

I am not suggesting you are incapable George, nor am I trying to slur you in anyway on the contrary, I thank you for the efforts that you make. I also respect your opinion but simply disagree. It would be a happy world if everyone had more self control, respect, or whatever, but it will never be so.

Being a moderator is a thankless task but it is an essential position to keeping order on a forum. We don't need a maverick or a janitor to clean up the forum, just someone that is prepared to help prevent the forum getting messy in the first place.

Of course, there might not be that much to read, if all the bickering is deleted.  ::) :P ;)

With respect George your comments demonstrate that this forum is indeed, in need of additional moderators that will 'moderate'. We all respect your decision not to undertake this task and appreciate your efforts as to deleting spam and offensive material.

The forum needs additional moderators that will edit/close/delete topics with an unbiased opinion. I would suggest at least 3 in all so that you can all action, support and discuss matters in private, as they become apparent.

The problem this forum has had over the recent years is that it has been left to one person, which is alot for any individual to handle, especially when Stew isn't always around.

But it's been this way ever since i've been here.  :-\

Ah, Google shows the PM appearing on leaves, this is not what ours are suffering with which I guess we should be fortunate for. Our mildew appears on the soil surface within the pot.

Apologies for deviating slightly Chris.

At the rate your going, it won't be long. :)

Certainly a very good way of using up the left over breads. I now see the similarity to the dish Frank mentioned too. Neither of which are doing me any favours at the moment as it's lunch time and I haven't eaten yet. This is making me very hungry indeed!

...is that powdery mildew...

What would that signify Frank? I'm not green fingered in any way but the wife has this problem with many potted plants around the house. I've often wondered if it were over watering.

Thanks Frank, i'll pop into one of the local 'Indian' stores and see if they have both. As someone who could happily devour a bowl of plain rice, i'm very much look forward to trying this.

The thicker poha in the video does seem more substantial though.

Now that's what I call fast food! Look's really delicious and very easy too. I have never tried the pressed rice, but have seen it often in the supermarkets. I shall be picking some up next time I come across it.

Frank do you think it would matter too much if the only poha I can find is the thinner type?

Thanks for posting. :)

Hi GC

No one can accuse of you of not being enthusiastic. Good darts! ;)
