Helen, I will miss your input.  I was away for a long time and I
tend to be a lurker these days.   Thanks for a lot of great recipes.
Unfortunately it appears that the days of the BBS are numbered.
Hope to see you on the web.  I still think we should organize a
list server on the internet to keep this group together.   The
usenet groups are becoming a waste, too many people and far too much
spam and flaming to wade through.  If you find a place on the web to
hang out please tell me.  I am at
