Welcome to Usenet. The real cooks don't even have the time nor inclination
to grubb around on the dirty floor with this group. They are busy cooking
and going about their lives, and would never take the two hours a day or so
it takes to check and answer messages and read up about the latest on
Brittany and Old Big Ears.

Then you move on to those who post so endlessly, they only have time to boil
water in a microwave to make more coffee for yet another caffeine IV.

So, yes. Plenty of people here cook. Plenty of people who are NOT here are
the real cooks. They do what they do, and don't have to share or brag or
gloat or put down someone who can't cook as well.

Then there is the mentally disturbed crowd who use this as merely another
streetcorner to erect their ladder and spout their spew.

Our jobs is to killfile, refuse to engage in threads not related to cooking,
and to go out there and live life.
