When I am looking for suggestions or advice about a cooking topic now,
I often use the "search this group" function and read the old posts
first. Much better signal to noise content than initiating a new post
nowadays. Sometimes when I'm bored I just search for "Shankar" or
"Kaye" and read whatever pops up. When I'm *really* bored I search
under "Penmart" for a good laugh. -aem
