Whoa! I just checked the RFC membership list, and you aren't
a registered user. Non-members can view the postings on RFC,
but non-member posting is forbidden. I've sent the system
administrator of your site a note explaining he's got the
security configuration wrong. I can understand why you don't
want to register at www.recfoodcooking.com -- it's free, but
some people don't like giving out photos of themselves -- but
them's the rules! I've noticed some people have provided photos
that seem obviously fake or something. I suppose you could try
that, if you are concerned about it. Hope this helps :-)

Hey, you think we want Homeland Security knocking on our doors,
comparing a printout of RFC Mugshots to our actual mugs? I'm pretty
sure there's a super-ultra-mondo-secret Homeland Security ordinance
that would allow them to haul the fake mugshot owner's *ss off to some
gulag at the bottom of the Marianas Trench.

that's because you are rude to them, steve. the proper usenet

You told them that you never heard of me, right? That you might have
heard of someone with a similar name, but she moved to Bora Bora or
maybe it was Trinidad or Pittsburgh. Yeah, that's the ticket. No one
would ever find me, erm, her in Pittsburgh!

That's a very astute observation. I post mostly in another newsgroup
for over 20 years now. Every year we will get something like three to
five guys who come sneaking in with very humble requests to be let
into the group - I'm a so innocent, ignorant, timid. Please educate
me. Be gentle.

Well its a free world and there are no moderators. No need to seek
permission. Anyone can post anything. Usually by week two the
newcomer will have tested the waters as to whom they can provoke into
a flame war. By then I'd describe their MO. What they ask during the
"test water" phase can usually be answered with a simple google
search. Part of the attack MO is to catch someone incautious enough to
give an opinion that can be easily proved to be incorrect. I'd tell
them newcomer, take a number and wait your turn. There are already
five guys ahead of you. Then ignore them unless there is a valid
discussion topic. Works most of the time, that is letting these trolls
know we are onto them. They quit on their own. By the way the header
has all the earmarks of what I just said.

I stand corrected. This one *did* come back to tell us why he won't
be coming back:

Okay. Its a free world. If you want to be suckered its your choice.
I came from the "repair" group where the original wok and teflon cross
post appeared. This should please you. I'll be leaving this group
soon and I am not into cooking and recipies. A meal I have to eat to
live. I'm not fussy how its done or care about the zen of gourmet.
If I like something tasty I go to a favorite restaurant. Actually
this is as good a time as any to say goodbye. Ta ta.

I have it now! You two are actually with the CIA! You're in the
clandestine super-duper-ultra-mondo-secret
sub-sub-sub-sub-rosa-basement-dwelling section tasked with
intelligence gathering! Your eyes and ears are keenly focused on the
national and international communities and evildoers thereof! You're
like super-Mounties on steroids (thus addressing Alan's crass
reference to Mounties, for whom Nancy in Iowa and I have a very fond
affection, although if she gets in my way one more time in pursuit of
one...) and you will Get Your Man/Woman. Any Man/Woman will
do/We-won't-confuse-you-with-the-facts sort of information gathering,
is that right?

(Whew! I'm safe. I'm utterly safe. I can default on my Pittsburgh
condo purchase now, steal some gas from that police car across the

Well.. the lumps might be mistaken for ground beef that was rinsed in
hot water... or just shredded up cardboard filler? You'll never know as
both are equally tasteless and devoid of "mouthfeel" yet provide texture
in your dish.

I have no recall your post or which "lurkers" chastised you, but you're
missing the aspect that strangers (which you're not) DO do those "drive
by spam postings" under the guise of information sharing when their
motives are hardly so honorable.

My newsreader (Xnews) highlights which threads/posts that I have made
that people have replied to.

I usually just read them, and CtrlF8 the rest.

I also have it set so that it automatically deletes any post that is
sent to more than 3 newsgroups.

It clears a lot of the shit out.

In my defense, I *am* a long-time lurker.

Then again, I used to be a lot more active here than I used to be too...

I'm finally at a place where I'm cooking again, so I've started lurking
again. Boy, do I have a lot to catch up with!
