Not an intrusion, simply an old reference. rfc used to be flooded with requests for "recipes from Europe" by students whose misguided instructor was (for whatever reason) trying to teach them about Usenet and newsgroups. The reply TINC (there is no Cabal) is a reference that allegedly many of the "regulars" controlled the ng. This is not, nor has it ever been, a moderated newsgroup.

The "be-little-ers club" is in full force. However, that only effects the timid & weak. IMO RFC's reputation is a situation analogous to the dog whose bark is worse than it's bite. In this case RFC's reputations for being difficult is vastly overrated. And as a group, consequently, more interesting than its 'reputation' would lead one to think. Of course, perversity that i am, it finally got to me, and i subscribed to RFC. And began to read & interact with the group i had been "warned" about "in another group." At least xenophobia & national chauvinism is as ridiculous here as it is prevalent in those more regional cooking groups and way less likely to be used in any even remotely meaningful way here, in what is an international group. None of which stops rude people from being rude. And the existence of such open, moderated public forums can even be said to encourage the worst in some people, 'pour le outre.' The sheer size of this groups contribute to its own moderation, its too big for any one person or clique to control with autocratic absolutism. -- Joseph Littleshoes |

The "be-little-ers club" is in full force. I don't see that old timers run people off unless they're spammers or trolls. The cross-posters who want to drag other ngs into this one for now reason, maybe. Maybe your take on things is different. shrugs I know you have been around for a long time...actually, I remember when you were dating Ray! What ever happened to Ray? I broke our engagement. I'm afraid Ray may have been a casualty of Hurricane Katrina. He was always running off to "help" when there were hurricanes in the gulf. Everyone talks about New Orleans but the town where his remaining family (cousins) lived, Bay St. Louis, MS, was wiped off the map. I think he was there at the time. Remember....YOU are someone special... just like everyone else Everyone is special. Everyone has good points and bad points. Good times and bad times. Jill |
