Fun and games on uk.food+drink.indian

I don't even know why I bother reading it anymore but had a quick look this morning and its not changed, the usual fatheads are arguing the toss over who knows best:

Its worth checking out if you fancy a good laugh, you won't find much curry insight though its full arguments between the regulars and anyone else who might have a different opinion.

Google groups can be a very useful resource for personal views and discussion on almost any subject under the sun. It's a great pity when any forum gets taken over by people who end up using abusive language much of the time. I just read another thread at uk.food+drink.indian, being very rude about a couple of celebrity chefs. Sad.

I hope admin would delete any such messages here. Long may this forum stay useful.

George,

I will go through and clean up any non-productive posts as and when i can.
I also intend to do some rules for posting, if anyone has any ideas then bullet point them in a Personal Message PM and i will include them.

Thanks,

It's a shame that google group is such a waste of space, it could be a great resource if it wasn't presided over (in the main) by BIR naysaying trolls and clueless cooks, and I think you know who I mean!  I tried posting there before (in response to help/recipes needed) and was roundly sneered at and ignored.  There is no room there for other people's contributions, it seems, except for the clique who drive people away and bicker amongst themselves.  It's an embarrassment to the indian food loving community.
