Moderator needs to take action

You need to killfile everything posted from Google. Show no
mercy to those Google-whiners. If somebody gets offended, spit
on them.

It's not just Google, Steve. It's better (at least for me) to filter by
keywords.

Yep. Hopefully Ted and others will take my advice and thank me
for it, too.

If you would run for the job I'm sure you would be elected for it. The pay
is good too.

Your first post here and all you can write is an off topic comment to
the non-existent moderator in an unmoderated newsgroup. Go back to
lurking.

This is far from his first post here. Ted Campanelli has posted to
rfc longer than you or anyone who's joined this thread so far except
me.

I don't remember him and I've been around off and on since the late 80s
or early 90s. If he's been around that long he should know better than to
suggest a moderator, unless he is just trolling. If that's the case he
has caught several of us in the net.

Well excuse the hell out of me. I only keep a few hundred messages in my
system, which is about a week, and there was nothing in that time. I don't
recall any input from him.

Agreed!

XNews is great. Grep takes some serious study but pays off big time. I
apply nike|shoe|islam|free|god|gay|[censored]|bu[s\$]h etc. keywords to ALL
newsgroups ^.*$ as an example. Nice and neat. It's been years in the making
and makes Usenet such a nicer place.

Filtering names is naturally a plus.

Yes he has posted here before, IIRC. But I don't think he goes back
to the early to mid 90s, which was when I started coming here. I could
be wrong on that.

However it is easy to see from the posting profile on google groups,
as to when folks started posting, at least with the names they use
now. I haven't checked out his, not that it really matters very much.

OB food: I am trying to think of one, but I am coming up short..LOL.
I still have half a pot of chicken and dumplings to eat...

Still trying to cook from the pantry these day, and not make many
food purchases... This is part of a personal challenge to myself, to
keep my food budget to as little as I can every week, just to see if I
can do it, and still eat well and healthily.

In the fridge I still have a whole cabbage, which will last a bit
longer, a good sized bag of zucchini, which does need to be cooked
soon in some fashion, and a cauliflower which also needs to be cooked
soon. I just used up most of my celery, and all of my Italian Parsley,
at least I think I did. I have to go through the vegetable drawers to
see what I am overlooking. The freezer is still full of meat...and
various ingredients.

Yummmm... I see a lovely cabbage soup in your future. What kind of meat?

Agreed. The CABAL will give you 24 hours to take care of this. If you
don't, you will be stripped of your title of "MODERATOR", your computer
will be forcibly removed and you will never again be allowed to use a
computer.

It's all up to you, now.

I have a lot of variety in the freezer right now. Beef short ribs,
quite a few pounds of pork country style ribs, two good sized pork
shoulders, ground beef, boneless chicken breasts, a few whole
chickens, chicken thighs, boneless chicken thighs, a rack of lamb from
TJs that Koko left me, and a few packages of frozen seafood (those
will go to make a quasi-authentic cioppino sometime in the next month
or so), and I don't remember what else. Oh, and some frozen Spanish
chorizo that was left here after the cook-in.

I am not going to cook the cabbage just yet....and when I do, I am
leaning towards more of a veggie dish/salad/slaw. While I like soup,
I am not really in the mood for it right now.

The zucchini and cauliflower need to be cooked first. I have in mind
to try an Ina Garten recipe which is zucchini sauteed and then
sprinkled with Parmesan. I am also thinking of something like a
zucchini gratin... The cauliflower I could roast, but I am in the
mood for something different...

I knew I recognized his name; I was wondering how a regular would think
rfc was moderated...

I hear ya Ted. The worst offenders are actually some of the regulars...
that's more annoying to me than the drive by spam.
I don't mind "thread drift" but the enormous amount of off topic threads
started from the get go *is* annoying.

I decided to try a reverse tactic...to do the thread drift thing, but
to drift it back to food. Probably won't work...but what the
hell...LOL.

No, I haven't. This is the first time I have been to that site, and
it looks interesting.

Speaking of recipes from this site, I just found this one. I have
everything that it needs...😉

GG shows that over the last year (that's as far back as I checked) he's
posted once or twice per month on average.
