Continuing in that vein - this IS usenet, not googlegroups. You'll have
more street cred if you get a real news reader and a real usenet server for
participating in rec.food.cooking. There are a lot of folk that
automatically block any and all posts from googlegroups because it is an
unending source of spam. If none of this makes sense, ask for a bit of
help and guidance - the natives are friendly.
