Re: RFC: Proposal for new Usenet grooup - rec.food.cooking.chat (Re: WOTD (8/13/07) - AN'ATOMY )

Steve Wertz <swertz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> scripsit in
news:1merh8drj2gxt.dlg@xxxxxxxxxxx:

I wondered why anyone posts all the off-topic blather here in the
first place? Jokes, songs, sports, pets..? I get the impression
some here (and Kate is hardly the most guilty) consider this food
forum their own private playground and mistakenly think they're a
bit wittier or more amusing than they actually are and mistake
tolerance for welcome? Perhaps a chat room where they can all
talk about anything and everything not appropriate here would
supply them with cyber-friends who share an interest in all the
topics that don't belong here? I've enjoyed the RFC Chatroom at
times and it can certainly provide an outlet for these off-topic
subjects....?

The answer is newsgroup called rec.food.cooking.chat.

How about rec.food.cooking.shfia for the disgruntled who don't like a
broad swath of conversation in what is an unmoderated (I repeat
unmoderated) newsgroup. shfia is for "stick held firmly in ass" so that
the rest of us who like to discuss more than the colour of `Murrikun
cheez can get on with it without further annoying complaints such as
these by people who ought to know better.
