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.

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.

(Notice how I managed to make this a "food" post by adding "carp"?)

Did I misss something ? I see a survey about dream food....
Any way my opinion, is..... drum roll.... I totally enjoy Ranger's
post about his family , brings back happy memories of when my kids
were smaller!

Hate to say this again BUT, if someone does not care for a poster,
then Killfile it or do not read it.. No big deal..

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'.

So using your logic on Off Topic posts, spammers are welcome here too, eh?

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
read/download.
