Subject: Random stuff.
Several things...
The bread-makers archives are available via anonymous ftp. They are on
onion.rain.com [147.28.0.160], in ~ftp/pub/bread.
It looks like there's more positive than negative feedback for a newsgroup.
Does anyone want to run a call for discussion/vote? I think that it would
be better if an impartial 3rd party ran the vote. Send email to me
(jeff@onion.rain.com) if you are interested. (please!)
The mailing list continues to grow. There are currently 288 subscribers.
I'm hoping that this digest will be duplicate-free. There's a fairly good
chance, as I've just updated the mailer on onion, and it should handle MX
routes much better.

Subject: breadmaker newsgroup
Jeff:
I think that it's a great idea to make this a newsgroup.
I believe that a newsgroup is much more of an "open-forum",
where readers are encouraged to participate in any thread.
A mail-list however "restricts" the flow of information and replies
for a given thread, as the users must wait until the moderator
(you) collects and send out the mail. This is what I think is
the cause of the current "low traffic". I know that I've wanted
to post some questions, however by the time it got back to me
I may have forgotton the question!
This certainly is not your fault, as you have done a great job
of maitaining this list. However, I think it's time to let the
child move out into the real world :-)
This newsgroup should be "unmoderated". Perhaps we should open
this group for any "bread" discussions, including bread machines.
I think this would be a better use of a newsgroup, and you
would get a lot more support for creating it, and more traffic.
Readers could then choose the best method of bread making
(manual or machine). Let's face it, we are all bread lovers,
so I'd also want to include those non-machine bread lovers
as well! I think that some of us also make bread manually
when we have the time (like on holidays).
So, put me down for a "rec.food.bread"!
(Feel free to forward this to the mail list)

Subject: Mail getting thru finally!
Success! An issue of the "Bread" Digest finally arrived here. (Vol 2 #16)
We had made some mailsystem changes here late last week and that is
probably why the mail is getting thru.
When you have time, could you possibly send the back issues to this
address? ("check@stl-06sima.army.mil") Thanks much!
[Or if they are anonymous-FTPable, just send me a pointer to the host where
they reside (please include the IP address).]
Thanks!

Subject: Bread list --> Bread group
I think it's a great idea and would spawn *more* volume. Many people (from
the looks of rec.food.cooking) don't even know about the list and are
always posting recipes and requests. Others (like me) find the mechanics
of mailing to a list to be daunting, while posting comes easy. :-) I
think turning the list into rec.food.bread (or breadmaking) would be a
great idea!

Subject: Possible Newsgroup
Jeff,
I don't know that I feel strongly one way or the other about making
this group a newsgroup but I have come up with some things to con-
sider in making a decision pro or con. I am listing this with a
(+) for the positive, a (-) for a negative and a (?) for unsure if
its good or bad. These are, naturally, my opinions only and other
people may view these same things in a different way.
+ Easier for new people to find out about the group.
+ Easier for members to interact with each other and comment on
questions and/or ideas.
- - Some people on the list may not be news subscribers.
- - Volume of items to read would most likely be larger and
therefore require more time to read.
? Would need to be monitored if we wished to keep it as it was
originally set up; ie: for bread machine owners. Since in
an unmonitored group we could recieve all types of things:
cross-postings from the recipes group; questions on
bread pans, and other equipment, etc.
There are probably additional things to be considered in making
this decision--this is just my two cents worth.

Subject: newsgroup
hi! my vote is for a newgroup... a friend has been forwarding copies of
the digest, however, i would prefer to be added to the distribution list.
(i'm new to this - my terminology may not be quite right!) the
newsgroup would eliminate your having to add me to the list! (my
husband will eventually want access also - so make that 2 votes!)
in the interim, would you add me to the list (unless the newsgroup
happens soon)?
=>sharon@midas.mgmt.purdue.edu
thanks!

Subject: gooey centers, sigh
Yep! I finally joined the gooey-center-group.
Does anyone else's experience lead them to believe it is
the fault of the recipe and not the machine?
My faithful DAK has only failed me when the recipe calls
for oil, rather than margerine. The latest flop was with
the whole wheat banana bread (from DAK's book)...the out-
side was burned and the inside was completely raw. (The
outer inch was cooked). I then put it in my oven at 350
degrees ... 45 minutes later (!!!) it was still raw in
the middle! ^^^^^
I then, stubbornly, put a thin slice in the toaster! Even
that did nothing to change the consistency of the gooey,
rubbery center.
I would very much like to know if the folks who have com-
plained previously about gooey centers have had their
problems using oil recipes? And did their machines behave
normally when using a margerine recipe?

Subject: Request: Salt Rising Bread
Approximately 30 years ago in Kansas City, Missouri, my family used to
purchase "Salt Rising Bread". I think it might have been baked by the
Manor Bread Co. It was a dense-textured, thin-sliced loaf with a salty
taste and a wonderful aroma when toasted.
I have been unable to locate a recipe in cookbooks, and relatives in
Kansas City tell me they remember the bread but have not seen it for
many years. Can anyone help me locate a recipe for Salt Rising Bread?
Thanks!

Subject: Finding "odd" flours
Any suggestions on where one can find such flours as rye? Oat? Etc?
I surely haven't been able to find them in any local stores. I've had
problems just finding bread flour. I've been substituting unbleached
flour when I'm low on bread flour and that seems pretty successful,
does anyone know if I'm setting myself up for failure with that?
By the way, I really love this mailing list (and my machine!) so
please post more recipes!
Karen
