Very interesting survey!

I currently have 11 groups in my queue. I've had more and I've had less.

I'm posting to 9 of those and all under the same nickname.

Activity varies depending on personal interests and what threads are
offered. I don't start a lot of threads myself. (Hey, there is a
question you missed, do you regularly start new threads? G)

Anyhoo, that will be really cool to look at once a few more voters check
in.

I only sub to one moderated group. Usenet, in general, is an anarchy and
I like it that way. If I don't like a thread (or poster), I know how to
operate my killfiles.

Works for me...

I wouldn't want r.f.cooking to be moderated despite the fact
that moderation might remove a number of irritating posts. On
the other hand, some of those posts might be mine and moderation
also slows things down :-) My own rules often remove 2/3 of the
posts to r.f.cooking. I have read some moderated groups from
time to time and mostly they don't seem very active or all that
interesting. R.food.recipes is a moderated group that *is* quite
active but it has an awful lot of banal contributions especially
from some people who feels that their life's useful goal is to
post dozens of recipes at a time most of which I'm sure the
poster has never tried and you can't post comments

The newsgroups I read a

rec.travel.cruises
rec.food.cooking
rec.scuba
rec.nude
alt.support.sinusitis

There are other people in this newsgroup, who are also members of the
above newsgroups, except for alt.support.sinusitis. I may be their only
member here.

Spammers are posting messages to the cruise group, the scuba group gets
too political, the nudist group has too many nutcases. The only group
with normal people, is the sinus group, unless you consider this group
to be "normal". ;-)

I subscribe to about 15 groups total, some technical, some "fun". What
always surprises me is how little overlap in particpants there are in
any of them. There are a few here and there I'll see on more than one,
but not many.

Even popular, cross-interest groups like rec.arts.tv and
rec.food.cooking don't have that many common characters.

Here are most of mine (I have five in another news client):

news.software.readers
alt.fan.cecil-adams
alt.www.webmaster
alt.html
24hoursupport.helpdesk
rec.food.cooking
alt.folklore.urban
alt.newgroup.for.fun.fun.fun

soc.history.war.world-war-ii
comp.mail.misc
news.software.nntp
rec.food.equipment
rec.food.historic
soc.history.ancient
soc.history.medieval
alt.railroad

Only one's moderated.

The only time I use another identity is in one or two groups that are
*really* stuffy about the use of real names. For those I have a
real-sounding name I post under. Haven't used it in months, though -- I
rarely post to groups of that nature.

Hmmm. This was sort of a hodgepodge of questions
that weren't really related. But that's okay.
Just wondering what prompted those particular questions.

Anyway, there should have been a mcinl in the 1st
question. I choose never but that's because it asked
about tossing them in the trash. When I used to toss
cans in the trash I did not rinse them. However for the
last 15 or more years we have had mandatory recycling and
it is required to rinse the cans (well, not required but
suggested to prevent bugs) and remove any paper labels.
So that's what I do.

I have 4 good wooden spoons (olive wood) and one
crappy one that came in a set of wooden tools and
which I never use.

Question three I thought was very strange. Do
people actually lose their flatware that often?
I have never had to replace any of mine. I may
have lost 1 or 2 things over the last 20 or more
years, but didn't find it necessary to actually
replace it, just do without. But then I don't
have any kids in the house. I figure that maybe
it's the people with kids whose flatware goes
missing.

I have 2 spoon rests but I wouldn't call either
one of them "proper" as they are badly designed
in my opinion. Of course I bought the first one
because it was a cat. The second was a gift.
They are both attractive but the spoons tend to
fall out of them most of the time, especially my
wooden spoons. Someone needs to design a better
spoon rest. They are fine for small tableware
types of spoons like teaspoons and tablespoons
but really are useless for large wooden and plastic
spoons.

2 cutting boards - one large one my bil made for
me which is always out on the counter next to the
stove. One smaller, more decorative one, in the
shape of a cat which hangs on the wall and which
I use for smaller jobs while sitting at the kitchen
table.

OMG! the last question in this survey brought back numerous
nightmares! When proposals for splitting this group into specialty
components come up, there is generally a loud roaring from the local
poplance against such a heresy. RFpreserving, and RF equipment manage
to survive, but rfcj is all but moribund.
