I am only a lurker but I have been here many times and have yet to
believe that this is really a cooking group. What does all the tension
and debate have to do with cooking? There seems to be allot of drama
and hostility about subjects totally unrelated to cooking.

Is it the rec. in the name of the group that makes it so different? I do
not mean to criticize but I just really do not understand why it is
call a cooking group.
