One is 17 quarts (my pasta pot of which I hold great affection as it I was given to me at my bridal shower by my mother) and a 12 quart one I picked up in Germany years ago. I also have a smaller, annoying 10 quart pasta pot with insert but it rarely is used. My dutch ovens (2) are both 8 quarts. |

However, I have no intention of doing this type of survey on the RFC site, because: 1. In this type of survey the results are only published at the end of the survey. 2. Before they are published, somebody (me, in this case) has to summarize/analyze the results and present them, otherwise it would be "just another forum". 3. I have no intention of re-inventing the wheel (i.e. rec.food.cooking) For the current "multiple choice" surveys on the site I would welcome some questions and their possible answers. I am afraid that aem's "survey" does not fit the bill in this case. BTW, your "Bottles for olive oil" suggestion is the type of thing I am looking for. Thank you. -- Cheers Chatty Cathy |

I'll see if I can come up with some other survey suggestions for you without posting them here first. Just items of curiosity, you might say. In the case of the "bottles" thread, I was so tickled that John remembered an innocuous comment about my wanting a bottle like one we saw in a shop I just posted it :) Jill |

Aren't you speaking for a rather large crowd? Maybe most in "your" circle, but that's hardly an accurate statement. Google doesn't carry "most" of the groups I use. I'd be very unhappy without a real reader and access to a real server. Even AOL's setup was horrible before they discontinued it. Lou |

In the case of the "bottles" thread, I was so > tickled that John remembered an innocuous comment about my wanting a bottle > like one we saw in a shop I just posted it :) Thanks Jill. I would really appreciate some more suggestions from you. Currently, I have been selecting topics by either what was discussed at length in the group, or things that I am personally interested in. But I am sure that there are plenty of others who have interesting topics that they would like to see the group's opinion on; let's make this a group effort like the signature dishes. When enough people contribute a survey topic we might even be able to hold one on "who has come up with the best survey of the month". Beware! I have also discovered that it is not as easy as it looks to include enough answer options to "please everyone". Also, would any interested parties (preferably) send their topics to me at the webmaster addy on the site?... because we don't want to "give too much away" in advance ;) -- Cheers Chatty Cathy |
