The point is by crossposting some of the people in the other groups reply, not not noticing the crosspost. So their reply appears here as well as where they intended, and they become unwitting accomplishes in her campaign to flood this group. Also, it allows her to sidestep killfiles which filter out her messages when the someone quotes her message.
I see that people in other groups have noticed the crossposting and asked that it stop. The reply to the request was the same as it was here, in effect, "screw you, I can do and say anything I want, there's nothing you can do about it."

And in fact, there have been no requests to "stop crossposting." Didn't your mama teach you not to make things up?
As for the other charges--why would I want to flood this group? Have you seen real flooding?
Your reaction to a couple of posts to the cooking and radio groups that were on-topic and resulted in some very interesting exchanges tells me that I have been right about you little people.

Jill, we would like to reach out to you in a positive way, but you slam the doors.
>This snippet was >copy/pasted from here, cross posted to rec.food.cooking and rpca by our >beloved (yet again) Mary: Right. She cross-posted it because it's commentary from cat fanciers who share an interest in regional food. Now, how many food enthusiasts are also cat fanciers? Probably there are some. Why not welcome the possibility of new participants in your stagnant, self-absorbed newsgroup?
I'm afraid Dan has brainwashed you with his happy horseshit. I'll bet he's had your pants off, too, in the back seat of whatever car he is living out of these days.

With Monica and Dan, and Conan?
IF IT WAS ANYTHING BUT A CAT, I'D TELL THEM TO CRAM IT UP THIER <BEEEEPS> AS FAR AS THEY CAN.
I DON'T GIVE A RATS a.s TWO CENTS WHAT EITHER OF THEM HAVE TO SAY.
For 10 cent, I'd stick my <beep> ALL up in their little lying mouths!
They are just plain ol shitty.
Where I come from, we woulda kicked Dan's a.s first time we caught him by the shirt! And the worst we woulda done to Monica, is just called her names, like strumpet or weed monkey whore. Nah, I take that back, she woulda got her tail kicked too!
You don't do people that.

Gabey8 - 17 Jul 2005 14:42 GMT [[This snippet was copy/pasted from here, cross posted to rec.food.cooking and rpca ]]
I had a feeling something like that would happen, after I saw this particular post last night:
http://groups-beta.google.com/group/rec.pets.cats.anecdotes/msg/bec6a7d823b1ecd8
I guess it's a mixed blessing that accessing Usenet via the WWW doesn't provide the ability to killfile. It means that all posts, threads, or whatever are available, and it's for the user to decide which things to read and which to avoid.
I happened to read that particular item last night and thought, "Oh, great. Now the cooking people are going to wonder what's going on."
I guess the cooking group regulars will be doing some plonking before long.

Now, now, Jill, as you know we have been talking about our own beloved kitties for months in these groups. Among the other things you need to learn is the fact that hyperbole and wild claims that are completely unfounded in reality do nothing to advance your credibility.
We long for harmony and happiness between the groups, and we know how much you love good cat stories there in anecdotes, so out of the pure love and goodness of our hearts we are going to do our best to provide more Wonderful Cat Stories just to reward you all for your kind natures and broad-minded intelligence.
By the same token, when you discuss cooking, why not bring in the cooking groups? The more the merrier, and all on-topic. Do you see some down side in this? I thought the cooking folks would have great insights into pressure cooking and indeed they did. I enjoyed their input. Didn't you?

There's a miniseries going on right now called "Into the West" we're watching. It's pretty cheesy and unbelievable at times, but I enjoy anything about the Native American culture and people. I think they're just a beautiful people. I used to tell people as a kid my mom was Indian, when in fact her skin/hair color came from her Italian heritage. Other little girls pretended they were Sleeping Beauty or Snow White or whatever, but I always wanted to be an Indian princess. LOL. Sherry

Then again I also used to think the great jazz singer was named Elephants Gerald. ;)

It didn't take me long to figure out the truth. The Indian kids I went to school with had cool last names, like "Elk Looks Back". Taliaferro wasn't exactly a cool Indian name, and we didn't get to have a real teepee set up in the yard on Fridays for all-night prayer meetings either. And to add insult to injury, I didn't even get my mom's olive skin or black hair. But I was glad I didn't get her moustache. :-)

The idea of working with nature rather than fighting it has always struck my imagination. However, I'm wimpy enough that I won't give up heat and air conditioning to manage in the wild.
I also like Cold Case. The way the show morphs between present day and the past intrigues me. I find the regulars to be more human than in most American shows which focus on pretty people rather than some sort of realistic behavior.

Glenn Close played that role so beautifully. How are they going to keep the show going now that her character got fired?

I have liked Chiklis since first seeing him in The Commish. Was a pretty lame show, and he was such a pudge (that's why *I* liked him). I was absolutely shocked when I saw the first episode of The Shield, and he was buff!
No clue how they'll handle it. I know that they wanted Glenn Close back, but she didn't want to feel "tied down" in a series. Maybe she'll be a recurring character? One can hope. I adore her (and still am stunned that she has never won the freakin' Oscar!).

Best of all, I love to see women in roles where they are middle-aged and not trying to be younger, sex it up, etc. She is very natural.

She's one of the most talented women (I'd include Kathleen Turner in this) I've ever seen. She has managed to remain a vital, sexy woman without resorting to wild amounts of plastic surgery (can you say Cher or Faye Dunaway?).

Oh gross!! And Farrah Fawcett, those awful hamster cheeks! And then there is Burt Reynolds and Robert Blake. Of all of them, Cher looks the best, though not quite real. Back to Glenn Close: I LOVED her in Dangerous Liasons, which is one of my favorite vintage films.

Here's a funny one... I watched The Accused (before Oscars that year), and thought Jodie Foster had done such a great job!
Then I saw Dangerous Liaisons (several months later), and nearly cried when I realized that she would probably never get another role like that one. Glenn wuz robbed, I tell ya!

Every Mom and Pop seafood house between here and the actual coast serves a basket of hush puppies before the meal. Captain Stanley's, in Garner NC had the best, but they have gone out of business.
There is also a very old place in Raleigh called 42nd Street Oyster Bar (it was there during the Great Depression and is still there but has been made "upscale') that serves a basket of hush puppies with a ramekin of whipped butter for dipping. :) It's the bypass-before-you're-fifty special.
Now then, whereabouts are you?

I have lived in Alabama (only as a young child), Tennessee, and Kentucky. In this part of the south, you are more likely to be served a basket with bread of some sort (yeast rolls, biscuits (what the English call scones), or cornbread muffins) as an appetizer. A lot of restaurants serve whatever you are drinking ahead of the meal, but no other form of appetizer.

[quoted text clipped - 23 lines] > serve whatever you are drinking ahead of the meal, but no other form > of appetizer. I looked around on the web and it seems some New Orleans restaurants also serve hushpuppies as appetizers. There is a defininte correlation between seafood and hushpuppies--but also, Carolina Barbecue places serve them as an appetizer, too. Of course, there are lots of combination seafood and barbecue places that serve hushpuppies as an appetizer. As an aside, I think the thing that makes hushpuppies better than regular corn bread is the onions in them. Actually I am assuming there are onions--I think that is what the flavor is. But I have never made hushpuppies at home, though I have fried up many a platter of catfish and oysters. Are you in Kentucky now, John? If so, I have a question for you.

You don't wanna deal with chef (least not till the munchies set in)
Incidently, do you know the muffin man? That lives on Drewery Ln? just curious
