This is one of the top echoes in Fidonet for non-automated postings.

Almost always has been, a few other echos peak above it for a few months
during some election or flame war and then recede back into lower
volumns.

What program do you use to generate these stats? Curious. You'd mentioned it many years ago but I've long forgotten.

It is part of a suite of programs designed as aids for QWK packets,
combined with scripts written in 4DOS. The central program is called
CPT.exe. From the DOC page:

Overview

CPT compiles a database of information about conference participants, based
on the information contained in the MESSAGES.DAT files in QWK packets.

etc.

It works for me since I read and retain my QWK packets from Maximus,
reading them with BlueWave.

I have a statistics report generator for Squish that I should set up
to run on the first of the month and autopost its findings to me. I
move mail via three Fidonet links.

I have seen other sorts of stats (e.g. in FN_SYSOP or FIDO_SYSOP) which
give a lot more detail, e.g. average quote rate versus new info of
posters.

It would be up to the current moderator (Michael) whether or not he
wanted any more stats posted. I agreed to continue doing what I do when
I turned the moderator role over to him.

Title: The Care & Feeding of Woks

<<SNIP>>

Dip several sheets of wadded-up paper towel into peanut or corn oil
and wipe the oil on the entire inside surface of the wok (you may

The best oil for cast iron is flaxseed oil -- and I presume it would
also be best for a wok. Other oils will do the job, but probably not as
good.

Line a broiler pan with slices of bread. Top each slice with a slice
or 2 of cheese, tomato slices and half slices of uncooked bacon.
Broil until bacon is cooked and cheese is bubbly.

NOTE: The more completely the cheese is covered with tomato the
better. Otherwise the cheese sometimes gets too brown before the
bacon is completely cooked.

At least it shows there's some activity elsewhere, heh.

That's what it was. Thanks.

Oh, I'd not post my system's stats in here. No need to do so when you
do it.

as good.

Though I have no experience in either, I'd agree with you.

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

Title: Manicotti (Mamma Leone's)
Categories: Italian, Pasta, Cheese
Yield: 6 Servings

3 c Sifted all-purpose flour
4 Eggs
4 1/2 ts Cold water
Pinch salt
1 tb Olive oil
3 c Meat sauce
1/4 c Freshly grated Parmesan
Cheese

MMMMM-------------------STUFFING FOR MANICOTTI------------------------
3/4 c Ricotta cheese
3/4 lb Mozarella cheese, diced
3 Eggs, lightly beaten
2 tb Butter
2 tb Freshly grated Parmesan
Cheese
1/2 ts Salt
pn Black pepper

Place flour on a pastry board and make a well in the center.
Break the eggs into the well and add the water, a little at a time,
and the salt. Knead for about 10 minutes. Let stand, covered, for
about 1 hour. Cut dough into 4 pieces and roll as thin as you can.
Cut into rectangles 4 inches wide by 6 inches long. Place between
pieces of waxed paper. You should have about 12 pieces. Cook, half
at a time, in 4 quarts salted boiling water with olive oul added.
Cook for 5 minutes. Drain and place between 2 towels.
Divide stuffing into 12 parts. Place a mound of stuffing on
each dough rectangle about 1/3 inch from a long edge. Mound should
be about 1/2 inch thick and 1/2 inch wide. Fold dough over twice.
Spread a thin layer of the meat sauce on the bottom of a baking pan.
Arrange manicotti about 1/4 inch apart in the pan and spoon the rest
of the sauce over the top. Sprinkle a teaspoon of Parmesan cheese
over each of the manicotti. Bake in a preheated slow (300 F) oven for
15 to 20 minutes. Drain the ricotta cheese. Combine all of the
ingredients and mix well.

MMMMM
