Greetings, Bruce:
Try to hang in there. Many lists briefly degenerate into personal
contention, but that doesn't mean that's the general tenor of the
list. This is rare on this list. Although some topics promote heated
discussions, they are rarely ad hominem.
This is, however, a high traffic list. The folks who post here are
generally very knowledgeable, very willing to help, delight in
pondering over uncertain issues, thrilled to discover new cuisines
and recipe sources, happy to share, and, well, highly opinionated,
which doesn't bother me. I should hope we all have opinions and can
express them, albeit politely.
Just toss the messages in the thread you find undesirable into the
trash and read the other posts.
Most of the time people on this list is not only post detailed
information and thoughtful and though-provoking commentary, but quite
often exhibit a, dare i say, delectable sense of humor.
Yours for better living through kitchen chemistry,
Anahita al-shazhiyya
