No flame here, my Lady, only exasperated agreement, and the risk of being
torched as well.

I believe the fact that people from across the whole Knowne Worlde are on
this list is sometimes overlooked in the heat of exchanges between those who
know each other by sight as well as word.

Having spent the last hour ploughing through all this, my first thought is
for the new people who have joined this list during this outbreak of
discourtesy.

They were probably expecting, as I was when I joined, an educational
environment where like minded people could discuss cooking, and what is
there currently? High traffic, with lots of off topic, and worst of all a
bitter personal diatribe between those gentles who are usually the lists'
stalwarts.

I'm wondering what I'm signed up for, so I don't know what a new person
who's not seen any of the good stuff yet would be thinking.

Yours, in service,
