Quoting Sean Dennis to Kurt Weiske <=-
A large percentage of the problem is that most of the active users of
this echo use a particular BBS that is having difficulty with its
Fidonet feed right now. There have been offers of other sysops offering
up their systems for use but none of the users have taken up on the
offers so the echo traffic suffers for it.
As for the recipes, the rule has been, as long as I've been in here
and that was starting in 1996, that only up to 20 recipes could be
posted at once.
The RECIPES echo is for mass posting of RECIPES; a secondary
echo to this one.
That being said, I would -much- prefer quality over quantity in
here and that's not just from a moderator's point of view.

I don't have FTP software any more and can't use Telnet as it isn't
secure and Roslind and I both have sensitive material on out
networked computers. I have yet to find a BBS that offered uploading
and downloading mail packets for off line reading and writing,
through a web based interface.
This week's theme is things to do with mayo for fishy stuff. None
of these recipes have been in this echo before, as I found them
elsewhere.

That's not necessary today either.

I offer it through SSH which is at least as secure as https. I think
much more secure to be honest. Grab Magiterm from
www.happylandbbs.com and connect to my Talisman BBS at tinysbbs.com on port 4322. Both Bluewave and QWK offered.
Sean Dennis wrote to Shawn Highfield <=-
SSH is much more secure especially when using pre-defined keys to
connect but even using passwords is quite secure.
Once I get the server going, I'll be putting SSH into ArcaOS. It can
be done. A little messy but when you're making a single-user OS into a multi-user OS, it always is.

And I'll reiterate my statement that were I in your situation and
wanted to do off-line messaging I'd use Dale Shipp's e-mail packets service. Back in the day I used to use a very similar service offered

I seem to remember a discussion during either Dale's or Clean Dave's
tour of duty as moderator asking about allowing Dave to post his
recipes in here. I remember several people complained that
too many recipes would "ruin the echo".
Me, I'd rather just dump HOME_COOKING and RECIPES to put that traffic
in here.

I cannot handle mayo. It is the vinegary taste that is off-
putting for me. I actually like the ingredients that go
into mayo except for the vinegar. I seem to have an overly
developed bitter tasting ability and I can taste bitterness
in everything. It's really annoying.

That's actually more insecure than a direct telnet connection. Really,
if Jim wanted to do it right, he'd use a separate computer, like a
laptop, for anything involving the Internet and keep any computer with
a need for security not only off of the Internet but a LAN also. Sneakernet only. That's my professional opinion.
In any case, I am happy for everyone who participates in this echo, no matter how they participate.

I would not now say that it would "ruin the echo", but I wonder how
many people would plow through Dave's 10 to 50 recipe postings to find
the conversations that they might respond to.

Since you are now the moderator of all three, you can do whatever you want. My vote would be to keep HOME_COOKING as it is and to dump
RECIPES as being an almost identical copy of H_C.

How are you with Kraft salad dressing? I have not tasted it in decades and so cannot say whether it has a vinegar taste or not. I do not
detect a vinegar taste in Hellman's Mayo. I do taste it in ketcup.

For this recipe, I would skip the lettuce, tomatoes, mushrooms, chili sauce, and hot pepper sauce. I would also not use American cheese,
use cheese whiz instead. For our use, I would divided the ingredients
by 3. and not need to do two sessions in cooking the meat.
Sometimes convenience and expediency trump security. And sometimies
that bites you on a really tender spot.
I'd not be posting as many as 50 in here. And those who chose not to
read the recipes could scroll right past. Single Ruth is our only user
who I know does online reading. Everyone else (I think) uses an OLR.
That's true. And it's because I'm the only poster in Recipes and damn near the only poster in Home_Cooking - although H_C has some lurkers.
To Sean: Have you tried mayo made w/lemon juice? I noticed when making
a batch of "minute" mayo how much it starts out like Hollandiase.

Yes, I know that first hand, computers or no.
Here's a recipe for you and yes, this is something I would make ... I
have all of the ingredients:

I didn't think any of us read the echo online. I do occasionally log
into my BBS and read messages online but Maximus has a pretty decent message system and I can skip over messages quickly and move things around. I prefer to use offline mail since I can take my time to
respond to messages. Right now, I am using GoldEd, which as soon as I leave the program tosses the mail and gets it sent out, because I was working on the BBS and wanted to check netmail.
That's true. And it's because I'm the only poster in Recipes and damn near the only poster in Home_Cooking - although H_C has some lurkers.
We can bring them in here.

I will try the lemon. That does sound good as I am a fan of citrus
with orange, lemon, and lime being absolute favorites.
Not feeling too hot right now. My doctor increased the dosage of one
of my diabetes meds and I have had a rather upset stomach all day.
It's Miracle Whip, baby! (This is not diabetic; Miracle Whip is not diabetic.)

I might be the moderator but if there's people who leave because I do something they don't like, I'll be the proud "owner" of an empty conference. <G>
Dave has already said he'd not post that many recipes in here at a
time. I have been very busy today and will be tomorrow so I'll think about it some more.

I dislike salad dressing too. I know, I'm weird.
I'm not a big fan of SPAM. Reminds me too much of C-Ration "Ham" and Scrambled Eggs. Still, it doesn't trigger my gag reflex like bologna
does. And I did save all those SPAM recipes that Jim Bodle, the echo
SPAM and squid acolyte posted.
Armour claims that their Treet Luncheon Meat is not the same as SPAM.
And two positives do not make a negative. Yeah, right!

Good luck with that. I've issued invitations.
Wouldn't fly at my house. I'm not fan of Miracle Wimp. Mayo or nothing
is my personal motto.

I do keep SPAM in my pantry for emergencies and I do eat it every so often. I like the taste but not the high sodium content which why it
is a limited treat for me.

I always thought they were the same product from different
manufacturers.

Question about MM: can I copy the catagories from one database to
another? I'm about to import 150,000 more recipes from files I've
created and don't want to have to hand-edit each database's file.

Telnet is notorious which is why the whole world dropped it 25
years ago. For one thing, passwords are exchanged in plain text. My
IT guy at work says avoid. I never ask him why, just follow his
advice. And Roslind's main client, the Government of Canada, says
keep it off her machine with its confidential mental health records.
