Guest guest Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 Sorry Kayce that we were a bit late processing some of the applications, we have two moderators living in entirely different parts of the world so we should have a chance of almost 24/7 response, but moderators (like the rest of us) have a life outside the group so sometimes this ideal is not achieved. Applications accompanied by a questionnaire usually get lightning service! As you may know, applications for membership are moderated as are the first few posts from a new member, once he/she is established as being " part of the group " as you put it, the posts are unmoderated. Yet another reason for sending lots of interesting posts to ! Have you discovered a new ingredient, do you want to know how to deal with a particular vegetable, something to tell about the spicy foods in your part of the world? Lots of possible subjects, all interesting! Piers , " kbrown1026 " <kbrown1026 wrote: > > Thank you for the warm welcome!
