Because two loud-mouthed, off-key braying
north-end-of-a-southbound-mules were going to such extremes to
point out my anti-fan club?

I already expect Stupiwertz to purchase multiple copies of my book
when I publish. He loves reading every article I post.

One word: killfile. You don't like The Ranger's (or anyone else's)
posts, kill either the thread or him (them). I view griping about OT
posts right up there with *plonk!* posts. Come to think of it, I also
rate 'em right up there with responses to trolls. *Ignore* 'em
already.

OB: Had lunch today at Sapori's in Newport Beach. Wonderful piece of
wild salmon in a lemon sauce with capers and asparagus on the side.
Didn't object to the Grey Goose martini, either.

AAAAA-MEN, Sister, You are preaching to the choir.........OOOOH
Hallelujah.......you don't like what someone posts, DON'T READ IT!!!!! It
seems that more time is spent on rec.food. COOKING frying each others
drawers than discussing pertinent information. Sheesh, ya don't like the
running commentary, don't read it......sorta like the mute button.

What about people who come along, like me, and are charmed? If I don't
have time to be charmed, I move along. What's the big deal when we are
inundated by creeps and ads all the time. This is at least sane and clean.

I certainly disagree with this. It's perfectly legitimate to raise
questions of topicality and express one's opinion on the subject.

Neither one belongs on a cooking message board, IMO.
The OT offenders all thing *their* stuff is clever, witty, useful... yet
I suspect the spammers would say that same thing. It becomes quite the
slippery slope.

While I enjoy his stories, I'm sure there are plenty of us who could
supply equally humorous, touching and delightfully written stories
about our own families. I know I can<g>.

But I do try to keep mine at least vaguely related to food and kitchen
(dh & the knife, etc.). Might be less need for special surveys and
flame warring if Ranger could keep that in mind. Better yet, how
about setting yourself up a website to post your stories to, or a
blog, and adding the url to your .sig?

Best of both worlds. Those of us who enjoy your parenting tales get
to read them, and those who don't have slightly less to carp about.

were smaller!

Some enjoy bitching about OT posts too much to bother using killfiles.

Those idiots waste more bandwidth than the OT posts.

But they don't seem to be able to catch the clu'.

Most threads end up Off Topic - remember thread drift. Heck, I block
entire threads after a few days just because I'm completely bored with
them. I don't have a problem doing it and I don't make a grand
announcement when I do. As for Rangers posts. I read them the first
time around but I ignor them now (they aren't filtered out)... and I
still think he's one heck of a writer. Rosie is right. If you don't
like his stories, kill the thread as soon as you see it. If you don't
like Ranger's posts in general, set up a kill author filter.

i don't know how your feed works, but you can usually tell spam by the
subject line, if a message slips by your filters. just don't

Goomba has too much fun bitching...

Talk about pot-> kettle -> black.

All the whining takes up more space than the original OT posts.
Evidently she is incapable of learning to use killfiles...

Thought she was edumacated!

Actually, those aren't bad for a quick dinner once in a while.
We picked one up one night after DS's ball game, and I thought
it was juicy and tasty. And they're certainly better than fast
food. We like the BBQ seasoned ones at Fred Meyer...

I'm guessing you've had them more often than we have -- I think
I've bought them 2-3 times now. But they've always been from FM,
so maybe that's why. I've never tried one from Wally World, and
I can't think of anyone else around here who makes them...

Because they can be pretty tasty and are very convenient?

Once in a great while, they're pretty good. Especially if you get 4 things
free with them.

Wrong. Topicality is ALWAYS on-topic. It has been always, and HAS to
be. If you can't discuss what is and isn't topical in a group, then
what's the point of different groups?

Oh come on! When an OT post is introduced as such by a long time
particapant of the group you know it's not SPAM because it has OT in
the header, so you can filter or not.

Again, blatant introduction of OT posts is cheapening this group, IMO. A
newcomer wouldn't know OT or spam was unwelcome if they pulled this
group up to read. How could it be if *some* "long time participants" are
encouraged to post crap but others discouraged? Heck- we even have
"regulars" who post some of the most inane crap and urban legends out
there! You know, those "Don't buy gas on this day" type pleas? So being
a "regular long term poster" isn't exactly much of a reference either.

That's really sad. I just started post a bit again after 2 months of
being very busy including moving. I consider this my relax/learning
time. The last thing I want to do online is be negative. I see too
much of that in the real world. Thanks for being such a fun poster
