Thanks for the link. I had a look at it, and it contains a wealth of
useful basic information--certainly too much to digest all at once (no
pun intended). I'll be going back to it from time to time.

BTW, my news server doesn't contain an NG dedicated to discussion of TV
cooking shows such as those available in my city on The Food Network.
Is anyone here at all interested in those?
