I don't get it. Nothing has gotten rid of real Bruce and the imposter
is just wasting his time. It is so easy to just skip his posts or kill
file. Seems to be a form of sexual gratification for a few.

Shame that it has devolved here to so many posts being critical of each
other. I choose carefully what I look at but there is still a handful
of people that can have a pleasant discussion of food related or even
friendly off topic subjects.

I agree, I go by the name of the poster, easy to spot the nym shifting
population.

If you wanna talk quality recipes? You could dig into the past, sometimes.

Oh yes, years ago it was a very on topic group with a lot of good
information. Unfortunately, most newsgroups have gone to crap in the
past 10 years or so. There were a lot of interesting people here and
often a regional cook-in where members got together. I was at one also
some years ago. None of the participants from that day are here today.

Ah yes, I still have that Connecticut RFC Cook-In t-shirt that Margaret
Suran sent me.

Yes, it was at Jack Schid's place and Margaret brought me a bottle of
bourbon that she was given but did not drink it. She was quite a nice
lady. My contribution that day was some home made sausage.

That is true of my local group which was big back in the day of
usenet. A bunch of us do still get together once in awhile at a local
pub for an HNO - holistic night out
