Agreed. That would be the biggest understatement ever posted on RAO.
Most of RAO's active posters would no doubt agree with you.


However, it appears that Chef Kroo has a method to his
culinary madness.


Again, quite perceptive. Agenda-driven madness such as his can be
quite repetitive and predictable. It's been happening on RAO since
1997, unfortunately. It's even been periodically carried - like a
dangerous virus - to other Usenet NGs, especially those that are not
moderated. It's even attracted a few parasites along the way, such as
his very few imitators on RAO.


Does anyone else out there percieve the unique issues Mr. K brings to
Usenet?

With the exception of 3 parasitic imitators, one of whom is a
sockpuppet, you'll find it hard to find anybody that disagrees with
your perceptive observations. For further validation of your discovery
of Krueger's obvious disconnect with reality and the reason's he
triggers the responses he so often gets, check out the following
thread:

It's called "Have You Had A Bad Krueger Experience?". Although written
in 1999, Ed Shain's observationss remain valid today. As you will
note, some of the names on Ed's list are still actively posting, while
others, unfortunately, left in disgust, probably as a result of
Krueger's nasty behavior. And, for the record, Ed Shain is a former
loudspeaker company investor whose wife is a physician in NYC. IOW,
there is no reason to believe that his observations are not credible.
But as you've already discovered the evidence is pretty obvious.


Your commentary-hopefully lucid rather than loony-would be most
entertaining.

Aside from a few parasitic and imitative flamethrowers as mentioned
above, you will, to be fair, find a few other people, such as Howard
Ferstler and Tom Nousaine that tend to agree with Krueger's dogma.
Unfortunately, Howard frequently (but not always) gets into
name-calling and other forms of derision when he encounters
disagreements. That said, he doesn't even come close to approaching
Krueger's "unique" qualities you describe above. Tom Nousaine, in
general, doesn't get into personal attacks IMHO, and therefore rarely
gets any in return.
