Thank God ... finally, the voice of reason. I think Lucretia must

Interestingly, if you head on over to another on-line food group, you'll
find just one poster who insists on focusing on an unproven aspect of his
life. The others of the 40-50+ posters accepted his failings as a human,
and chose to focus on his contributions to cooking. Ah, but the other is a
food/cooking group, while this is a kitchen table. I guess that is where
the difference lies.

FWIW, I will always have fond memories of watching his shows with my
parents. We would drool over whatever he was cooking and loved that he
often cooked foods that were not usually seen on cooking shows.

Yes, Rona, I've seen what you're talking about. I frequent both groups
and, while I enjoy both, I clearly see the differences.

Where exactly did you read that I was calling an end to anything? I only
said there was little to be gained. You can be such an ass sometimes,
Steve.

I post where I see fit, just as you do, apparently. I have not posted
anything negative on this topic.

Why don't you just killfile me if you don't want to read what I write?
It would be much simpler.

Yes, that was on eGullet. It was a relief to go there and see how
people were talking about his contributions to their cooking
knowledge, and how they learned to approach food, from his programs.
A real joy to read.

Well put. Thanks for saying what needed to be said.

I think that maybe in a small way, we are all better cooks or lovers
of cooking after having seen him and his shows.
