I don't have any r.f.c. regulars in my killfile at the moment. Only
posts I filter out nowadays are the spam posts e.g. handbags, shoes,
jewelry - ya know, that kinda crap - of which a lot comes from Google
Groups (or used to, dunno, I don't see them). But it's easy enough to
use the "ignore thread" option if certain threads don't interest me,
then I just don't see them anymore <shrug>

Although I don't always agree with some of the posters here <veg>, it
doesn't mean I 'hate' them, it just means I don't agree with them, and
last time I checked that wasn't a crime; if it was, a lot of the r.f.c.
denizens would be in jail by now...

However, I've also learned quite a few things from some of the folks
here over the last few years; I especially like being able to ask
questions about recipes, ingredients etc., which you cannot do in
groups like r.f.r.

Heh. even some of the OT posts have taught me a thing or two - this
thread is a prime example - I've learned more than I've ever wanted to
know about the Welfare System in the USA ;-)

I think most (not all) r.f.c.-ers do keep an open mind, but hey, that's
the way life is.
