alt.bread.recipes...'Cook' from the bread group suggested a take over of
this group....So I propose to just re-post that message here for you to see
and think about... The nerve!!

Google is a pain to use and since much of the spam that shows up comes
through Google many people have Google blocked.

Since there are enough providers who will carry alt groups for free or
cheap, lets stay here for a while longer. Maybe try to get a
rec.food.bread group going or steal rec.food.baking.

The big ISP's may not carry Usenet anymore I doubt that Usenet will
disappear anytime soon.
