It's certainly a sign of *severe* mental illness...

You almost begin to think that a bot may be posting here.

I caught a nice programme about the liberation of the Netherlands.

When I was a kid we had almost nightly bombings, to me it was
normal to hear sirens, get up, go down to shelter, didn't know
anything else. Then next day my brother and I would go out looking to
increase our shrapnel collections.

I figured it was a Facebook bot, working to kill off Usenet and send
more customers their way.

I don't get it. Nothing has gotten rid of real Bruce and the imposter
is just wasting his time. It is so easy to just skip his posts or kill
file. Seems to be a form of sexual gratification for a few.

Shame that it has devolved here to so many posts being critical of each
other. I choose carefully what I look at but there is still a handful
of people that can have a pleasant discussion of food related or even
friendly off topic subjects.

I agree, I go by the name of the poster, easy to spot the nym shifting
population.

If you wanna talk quality recipes? You could dig into the past, sometimes.

Oh yes, years ago it was a very on topic group with a lot of good
information. Unfortunately, most newsgroups have gone to crap in the
past 10 years or so. There were a lot of interesting people here and
often a regional cook-in where members got together. I was at one also
some years ago. None of the participants from that day are here today.

Ah yes, I still have that Connecticut RFC Cook-In t-shirt that Margaret
Suran sent me.

Yes, it was at Jack Schid's place and Margaret brought me a bottle of
bourbon that she was given but did not drink it. She was quite a nice
lady. My contribution that day was some home made sausage.

I remember Jack, of course I remember Margaret. Wasn't Barb Schaller
there too? The trolls keep trying to kill this ng but they haven't
managed so far.

Absolutely nothing wrong with quality recipes, past or present.

That is true of my local group which was big back in the day of
usenet. A bunch of us do still get together once in awhile at a local
pub for an HNO - holistic night out

Barb & I exchanged greetings on Mother's Day.

I've no idea at all what happened to Jack, though was never close to
him at all. 2020 was sad as we lost Margaret. of course.

Yes, it was very sad about Margaret but she had stopped posting long
before she died. I don't know what happened to Jack. Maybe Ed knows?

I found this blast from the past on the RFC Cookin's link:

http://www.recfoodcooking.org/cookins/show.html?id=7

There's Jack at a cook-in in San Diego! 1993

That link shows a lot of the old cook-in photos and who attended.
Really, people travelled all over the country to meet and cook together!

There are a lot of posters from back in those days who simply dropped
out of sight. Do you remember Dimitri? IIRC he lived in California.
He'd met people at one of the West Coast cookin's from back in the day.
Kay Hartman? Mimi? I'm reaching.

II would think that the FB RFC group could be a good source of
history, with some members knowing the whereabouts of the early Usenet
posters. I

All Usenet groups evolved as individual group dynamics waxed and
waned- FB gave it a run for its money and a final Usenet kick in the
face that required no separate newsreader or feed, and had some
rather strange moderators who loved to ban those with whom they
disagreed. I cannot even say what's what with FB these days, as I have
been away from it for 6 or 7 years.

I find that reddit is more fun in general.

A large proportion of the UK group moved to FB after some nasty spats among
members. I joined but within weeks I extricated myself from FB as I found
it a bloody nuisance. It mined my e-mail contacts and every time someone
farted and updated their page, I received an e-mail. Of course, FB keeps
your data and if you are foolish enough to use it, it is back to full
membership.
What ****es me off is that there are so many occasions where one is
expected to be a member to participate in something. Two weeks ago, a
charity that I support held an online auction using FB. I couldn't
participate as that would have opened up that FB account.
