Anyone a member of bread-bakers mailing list?

[W.DeBord]

I'm not quite sure how to follow their mailings and I was hoping someone here might be familar enough to explain alittle, please?

I don't check the sight often, but look forward to recieving the weekly mailing. But following the weekly mailing is confusing (at best) because it's disorganized responses to questions and random postings of recipes. Help, what am I miss understanding? Or how do you handle and organize what you learn from them?

Wendy,
I have been looking for this site. I have heard about this mailing list but have never been able to find it. Can you post the URL?

[W.DeBord]

It's, http://www.bread-bakers.com/

I checked out some of the sources in the back of Reinharts books. Have you done the same?

[KyleW]

I got signed up at the mailing list. Thanks Wendy. I have not checked out the resources at the back of BBA. I never seem to get that far before I'm elbow deep in flour

[W.DeBord]

Kyle your so much more computor savie than I...after you see their mail will you please explain how you follow it?

I think you'll really like their info.!

[KyleW]

I haven't gotten the first one yet, but I'll keep you posted. I have a feeling it is a Stream of Consciousness exercise

I got my first digest from this mailing list. It's a freefloating message board. It looks like you can jump right in and either pose, or respond to a question. I know they maintain archives on the web site.

It figures, this weeks was rather much easier to follow then the previous news letters I've gotten.

Your reading along and you have notes posted about this topic and that topic with-out know what the original question or theme was. I was sort of hoping there was a source page at the site where people posted the original question and that the news letter was just up dates. No? You didn't see that either right?

I suppose it's the darn pastry chef mentality but I like things to be organized so I can keep nice notes. This is like puzzle which is fine but more work.

Did you like it Kyle?

[KyleW]

I did like it. Some of the names are those from other boards, which is fun. I think that part of its essence is the opposite of what you were looking for It's also what makes it kind of fun, and in keeping with the lore of bread. It seems to be just a giant, floating, free form discussion about bread It's the cyber version of knowledge being passed from generation to generation! It's sort of like "the oldest established, permanent, floating, crap game in New York." :-)
