Oh, so... there are still trolls who impersonate Admins on FB? Doesn't
sound like it is as secure as you think. That makes me feel soooo much
better. LOL

I can think of a few people. I won't name the ones I'm reminded of.
They simply sounded like fools to many of us. It was their choice to
leave. We didn't want to listen to the constant drama all the time.
(hence my k/fling Julie)

I've killfiled most of the obvious trolls, idiots and nymshifters.
They're the people who are trying to kill the ng all the while saying
someone else is doing it.

sf, you seem to like to respond to "casa whoever". Get over it, it's
trolling ane encourages replies from the other folks you think of as trolls.

The people who were allegedly "run off" rfc, why they left or where they
went? RFC has always been a contentious and opinionated newsgroup.
That's why it has always been known as the Chaotic Kitchen.

People leave RFC for a lot of reasons, as with any ng. Sometimes people
die. Or they simply lose interest. If they chose to go to FB, okay.
Some people no longer care to sit in front of a computer.

Margaret Suran's Birthday is tomorrow. She'll be 87 years old. I sent
her a card. She hasn't posted here in a long while. But she's a good,
longtime RFC friend. She's sent me a number of cookbooks over the
years. Happy birthday, Margaret!
