Hi, I've just started looking at discuss groups, I'm nervous about
posting here after reading the pumpkin cookie mess, I would have felt
very unwelcome, IS THIS A PRIVATE GROUP?


Which part of the "pumpkin cookie mess" made you nervous? Was it the part
where people gave their opinions after the OP asked for opinions? Did you
think that people should only post messages that are in agreement with the
OP in each thread? For instance, if I posted a recipe for cheesecake that
included cabbage and peanut butter and called it "amazing cabbage and peanut
butter cheesecake," would it be unacceptable for people to say they though
the recipe was nasty?

What exactly is a "private group?"

Are you aware that there is a MODERATED newsgroup called "rec.food.recipes?"
You can request recipes and submit recipes. Someone screens all the
messages and discards everything else. You can find the online, searchable
archives of that group he http://www.recipesource.com/

Oh, and I should point out that posting HTML/image/audio files to a
non-binary newsgroup is a violation of netiquette. No, I'm not the posting
police, but just someone pointing out reality. Posting from a webtv address
is like waving a red flag on Usenet. That you jumped into a newsgroup with
your HTML and criticism of the group's culture isn't considered a good way
to introduce yourself. If you want to post HTML, it's up to you just as you
can wear a bathrobe to church if you want.

Welcome to the group, Mable!

2 packages (3 ounces each) ladyfingers

1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese

2 cups milk

1 can sweetened condensed milk

2 boxes instant pudding

1 cup peanut butter

1 6oz package of shredded red cabbage

2 packages (11.2 ounces each) no-bake cheesecake mix

1 container (8 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed

Miniature marshmallows, crushed Oreos, and M&M candies, additional whipped
topping



Line bottom and side of 9 x 3-inch springform pan with ladyfinger halves,
split sides up; set aside. In large mixer bowl beat cream cheese until
smooth and fluffy. Add 1 cup of the milk, beating well. Blend in remaining

mixes. (Reserve crust mixes for other use.) Fold in whipped topping and
cabbage. Spoon into ladyfinger-lined pan. Cover and refrigerate several
hours or overnight. Remove side of pan just before serving. Top with
marshmallow, cookie crumbs, and candy pieces and a large dollop of Coolwhip.

Cabbage? In a refrigerator cake? Are you SURE?

It's a joke. You will see the context if you read the beginning of the
thread.

But wait. What if I was a beginner? What if that was the first time I
posted. You can't disagree lest you might make someone nervous - even
scared.

Indeed. It was very thoughtless of me.
