Last week I thought I'd found one.

I now realise I most certainly haven't!

Well tell us where the one you'd thought you'd found is. I like it
here. As long as I use my killfilter and delete whole threads without
reading, I get a lot of good information and discussion.

Actually.. this one is better than one just
focused only on "cooking".... here we discuss food
from farm to market, and the prep of food,
nutritional debates, restaurants, tools and tips
on food preparation or enjoyment. Just a LOT more
than just "cooking". It is more like sitting
around your kitchen table and letting it all flow
and fly. Just take what you want and ignore the rest.

Oh, wahh. If you can't handle making the decision to read or not read off
topic posts, then perhaps you're not ready for a real newsgroup yet.
Try rec.food.recipes. Nothing but recipes, all day every day.

Unfortunately, all the political and religious posts (and cross-posts) have
made it nearly impossible for newbies to the group to figure out we really
*do* discuss everything you mentioned.

The OP (Derek) simply hasn't figured out how to killfile or ignore certain
threads yet.

Some people are too ingnorant to do that. ;-)
They have more fun griping and trying to "change" an
established group!

Kill filters are nice aren't they?
Using MT, I can kill threads without killing authors,
and that cleans up the screen nicely!

There is PLENTY of good cooking advice and information
here.

What version of Windoze are you using? Maybe this is a WinXP SP2 problem.

I'm not using nfilter now, but I've used it in the past on a Win2K
system and several Win98 systems. I don't know if I've ever used it on XP.

Yeah, XP. I downloaded nfilter from another source
(http://www.netaxs.com/home/v/nfilter/) and got it to start
the installation process, but then got some other errors, so
I gave up. XP must be the problem. Oh well, thanks for the idea
anyway, Bob...

Some people have all the luck. I don't have a proper killfilter, but
that doesn't mean I can't delete threads and senders with abandon. I
feel like a pirate. Hah! Take that! And that and that and that!

All the years I have been posting here, I have never killfiled anyone.... Until
the other day. I had finally had it and killfiled someone, then I discovered,
that it is almost impossible to get rid of this person.

Well, yeah, as all they have to do is to "morph" their ID slightly to
avoid killfilters.

And then you will still see replies to them.... <sigh>

I rarely killfile authors, but I killfile threads/subjects without
hesitation!

I like your way, which is my way... the wimps way out is by
filtering, but we DELETE. Yes, there is much more power
with that method. <G>

For those of you with Frote Agent, try using "Ignore Thread." Not
only does it act on whatever is showing, it also ignores any
additional messages. You can also set your main view to "Not Ignored"
and never see any of the messages.

Oh, I'd go for the wimps' way if it weren't for the technical
difficulties. The funny thing about ignoring unwanted threads and
people is that there's no way to know if a post goes unanswered (by me)
because I haven't seen it or because I'm interested but have nothing to
say. I like that ambiguity.

news:rec.food.recipes is a moderated newsgroup, which

headers/approval email being forged. However, not the idle
banter that goes on here. Recipes, and equivalents are
discussed there. Yoou can request recipes, but don't expect
immediate results. You can post recipes, but again. don't

Try alt.cooking-chat.
But don't mistake a group discussing cooking (yeah, I know -- all sorts
of other unrelated crap, too) with a group that only posts recipes.
That'd be rec.food.recipes.
Stick around. There's good information to be found, enjoyment to be
had, if that's your thing, helped by the judicious use of killfiles and
filters. Come over and sit by me.
