Yes, Joe... I think this group is winding down. Sourdough blogs are
all over the place. The mystery is gone.

Is that what is going on? I figured the recent post about sugar and potato
starter would have received about 100 replies a few years ago. Probably many
more in direct correspondence. It is unfortunate that the talented group
that helped me so much has disbanded, if indeed that is the case.

Alas, with the mystery goes the allure. So now the masses can be spoon-fed
their information from bean counting commercial vendors who entice potential
customers with promises of good pioneer baking tips while selling sourdough
cultures in pretty little packets and jars from their internet medicine
wagons. There was never anything wrong with Usenet bullshit, because if your
sitting around the fire with some ass that doesn't know beans from
blowflies, you never know what is going to show up stuck between his teeth,
and that keeps it interesting.

I didn't link to sourdo.com because that guy is somewhat of a fraud.

Read this link and follow it's internal links to the vids. There are
some very nice dough handling demos. Plenty of allure...

Time Warner (Roadrunner service) stopped their Usenet news service
also.

Forte has a premium newsgroups service available for as low as $2.95
per month (12 GB max per month on the $2.95 service):

http://www.forteinc.com/apn/index.php

I use the low cost one since I don't download binaries and like it.
There are some free ones, too, out there but I've found the ones I
tried out to be unreliable. They seem to disappear every now and then.

The local Sam's club is now carrying 25 pound bags of Dakota Maid flour
which is very good flour.
