Frequent off-topic discussions?

[Guest guest]

Hello all,

I joined this group yesterday to learn about kefir, and

perhaps to find someone to send me some starter milk grains.

But now I'm not so sure I have the time to be here ...

This morning I found 30+ posts in my inbox!

I appreciate the fact that this group is very active, but at

the same time I am not in any way interested in Dr. Oz or

body odor or parents vaccinating kids or pertussis epidemics

or microwave ovens or ddt exposure.

How frequently do these off-topic discussions go on here? Is

the drift from on-topic kefir to all these off-topic issues a

common occurrence? Or is this an unusual situation for this

group?

I have no desire to disrupt the natural behavior of this

group so if " this is how it is " on a regular basis do you

think I should just ask if there's anyone who might send me

some milk grains to get started with, and then unsubscribe?

For the time being I just want to learn about kefir and get

started -- without disturbing anyone in this group, and

without going through so many posts in order to find a tidbit

of milk kefir information now and then.

Sincerely,

Grome
