Response to My Query - from Pat, Group Owner

[Guest guest]

Dear Members,

 

The answers, including off-list responses, to my query

about future list content are equally divided between

those who want the list *exactly* as is and those who

want to see a little (or much) more or a little (or

much) less of something or other. (I counted them four

times to make sure.)

 

I suggest this:

 

We will have a trial period of keeping this list on a

firm track of recipes, their ingredients and food

discussion - restaurant tips and such certainly

allowable - with OT messages kept to a minimum but not

excluded.

 

Remember also that this is a list for 'hot and spicy'

recipes - and that theme should be (normally) adhered

to. (Save your jam-on-toast specialties for your other

groups.) That's why people joined in the first place!

 

Gratuitous discussion of reasons for vegetarianism,

such as health, religion, respect for life,

environmental concerns, etc., should be avoided

whenever possible. This is stuff we all know and

understand, although we each have our own reasons for

being vegetarian in the way that we are, whether

ovo-lacto, ovo, lacto, or following plant-based diet

only. (Preaching to the choir is seldom worth the

breath and may even be annoying or insulting.) Respect

for *all* vegetarians, however,must be maintained.

 

The same prohibitions against 'spam' or other

disallowed messages still pertain, and requests that

exceptions be made should go to the moderators at:

-owner

 

For my part, I will be now taking a much lower profile

as administrator of this list.

 

Thanks for all your comments and suggestions. This

matter will be reviewed in due course.

 

Best,
