Sorry, off topic but I don't want google as my newsgroup server. Used
to be in days gone by, I could just click on a newsgroup and
subscribe. Google has way too much spam and I really don't like the
format! e.

Well, thanks for the warm welcome. Guess there's still some bitchy
people here at rec. cooking.
Appreciate the advice of the other posters. I registered with
motzerella - almost close enough to mozzarella. That's my food
reference for this post! e.

Steve gets grumpy about stuff. I do too, but pretty much only about
cooking or politics, and I don't start political threads. I finish
them.

It's all OK.

I don't understand the problem. Years ago I used a couple of
different stand-alone readers, but when I got this new used machine a
few years back they weren't installed and before I went looking for
something to download, tried google. Works just fine for me. This is
the onlly group I visit with any freqency.

Having trouble finding something to chat with, though.

If you use firefox, it has an add on called Chatzilla (free).
Otherwise, people seem to like mIRC.

I love cooking with wine.
Sometimes I even put it in the food.

Thank you. Most servers (perhaps all now) don't offer the option of
Newsgroups anymore - took me a long time to figure that out!

I missed being able to access this cooking ng and didn't realize that
I had more options than Google. e.

Do you mean most ISPs don't offer Usenet any longer? Mine does. I
don't know if Earthlink still does; they used to.

News servers aren't especially hard to come by. news.individual.net is
great and pretty darned inexpensive; it doesn't carry binary groups,
though.

Thank you, and btw I love your sig.

Have some issues with Firefox, but low on the list. This seems like
it might work! Years ago used to use Homer and IRCle. Maybe I can
remember how it works and learn how it has changed before the next
time somone calls an rfc chat. You might read me.

OB Food - braised chicken breast (who brought that in here?) w/ usual
assortment of veg, boiled potatoes, batch of turnip greens. Good but
not interesting. Got some cow liver on the menu tomorrow. Rice with
whatever perversion of avgolemono I come up with .

their evaluation page

....seems a little dated. it says it was last updated in 1992, and 40tude
dialog is not mentioned at all.
