IS EVERYBODY ELSE GETTING THE WEIRD RECIPES

At least on my news server messages that were posted late last night or early this morning have strange responses seemingly posted by those who either posted the original or a reply. They really look legitimate. All are weird recipes like Vietnamese Offspring rolls. "Grab the neighbor's kid and make it into an appetizer". I've checked other boards and seen the same thing. I'm wondering if this is localized to one server or across the net. Norton shows no virus, and on-line support at optonline didn't seem to have an interest in this type pf problem. It's got to be a somewhat sophisticated attack in that the "from lines" all indicate they're from the original sender. Maybe some systems administrator's assistant who was left alone for the first time..

Yep, I get them too.

Here's a good explanation that was posted in another group:

Val Kraut offered me a plate of cheese and whispered:

A number of newsgroups have been getting them. Apparently they are nothing to worry about; just don't reply to them.

and here I thought we were changing topics to cooking. I was just about to post my roadkill recipes, like "Poodles and Noodles", "Sharpei Surprise" and "Rack of Raccoon", or one of my all-time favorites, "Grilled Venison" Dammitol!

Yes - I see them. Even some that carry my own address as sender. Looks like the spammers have a new piracy technique going on...

Um, wouldn't that be twice grilled venison?

Good point Tom, but it depends on your POV. Actually, "twice grilled" might indicate removal of the meat from one grill and returning it to another. However, since the original grill is probably now detached, it's a simple matter of just laying it on the fire (assuming it's not a cheap plastic thing, makes the venison taste funny, trust me)

Nope, in the backwoods of north central IL. Oddly enough, Rosanne's, if it still exists, is not terribly far from here. I'm about 100 miles NE of Ottumwa, IA.

LOL! Do they still have the loosemeat samiches or did they sell the diner? Cheers,

I did a google for Ottumwa, IA and Rosanne's, but came up dry. Apparently it has gone under.
