That should've been you've got a beach in your front yard. Don't know what
went wrong, there!

Best,

They all come from Google Groups. Complain to them.

Those of us with real news servers and readers set up filters so we

Honestly, I don't understand why Google doesn't just throw their email
filters (which are excellent) over to the google groups news reader.
Fine - don't filter spam out for the "archive" part, but please spare
"group" readers any spam you (Google) can. What happens is it just
makes those of us who have filter capabilities less likely to use
Google to read usenet when we're not at our regular computers that
have news readers with filtering capability.

God forbid I should go on a *real* vacation and not be able to keep up
with the family style sharing, joking and in-fighting here. LOLOL!

Cheddar Macaroni Turkey or Beef Casserole

1 pkg. (7-1/4 oz.) KRAFT Macaroni & Cheese Dinner

Now *that's* a quality recipe! *LOL

Hit me with some of your best recipes.

That one sounds like it was from the back of the box, or copied and pasted
from a site, because you all-capsed KRAFT and specified KRAFT cheddar.
Not that there's anything wrong with it; one of my favorite quickie
dinners (that I *have* served to large groups because it scales up well)
is a riff on something that was on the back of a Near East Rice
Pilaf box. (Or was it Casbah rice pilaf? I like them both.) And some of
the back-of-the-package recipes are Gold Standard, or close to it.

But it's always, always, ALWAYS good to CREDIT YOUR SOURCES.

Since you appear to be posting from Google Groups (there's the telltale "-
show quoted text" left in your post), I suggest that you use the Google
Groups search feature to find things using keywords, including our best
recipes. They're all over the group and have been since I started
hanging out here in 1994 or so.

One of the things I suggest you look for is the RFC site with "signature
recipes". I don't know the URL offhand or I'd give it to you to get you
started. Some awfully good stuff there.

Barb's Brownies, Kay Hartman's Truffles, and Susan Hattie's Goat Cheese
Torta (to name but a few) are staples of my food life with friends and
family and are always greeted with glad cries.

- Show quoted text -

Why is this site flooded with Nike posts selling teenies. Doesn't
anyone moderate this site anymore?

Never *was* moderated. I suggest you read up on what usenet is.

There are excellent free or cheap newsreaders that will allow you to
filter out posts according to some pattern, including the spam that is
coming in through people using google groups to post (check the headers,
if you know how).

As one data point ... even back in 1995 well before this current spam
invasion, and before the incredible volume, I was only reading about a
third of what got posted here. The rest was subjects I wasn't interested
in or posters that IMO didn't really have much to contribute. The rest
I "marked as read".

The other things you can do are 1) complain to the source of the spam
about it (complaining here will do nothing, as nobody actually reading
this group is posting it) and 2) provide good content to improve the
signal-to-noise ratio. Complaining about how you are treated is NOT
good content.
