I always thought Melanie owed her loyalty to certain staff at CH. Maybe San Francisco friends.
Ask her. I would hate to see this board devolve into gossip about people who choose to post on Chowhound.

Donāt look at me 
Looks like things are moving in that direction, which I think is very unfortunate.
I do both. And āstayed loyal to CHā? Seriously? Are we supposed to take sides, now?

Ask her yourself. I donāt want to pry. Melanieās always been civil to me. Knowledgeable yet approachable.

At least as far as the two ājust nowā references here, I donāt see ādevolvingā at all. Curiosity was my only thought.
I know some post on two or more sites. I donāt really see why but Iām old with a limited amount of patience
Hi, small:
Actually, a lot of folks have chosen sides. Some exclusively. Melanieās one. Just a fact, no judgment.
I still have a toe in the water over there, but I have a lot more fun here.
Aloha,
Kaleo

Only on one of the āsidesā - this one. I have yet to see anyone on Chowhound trying to drive a wedge between that site and Hungry Onion in the way that you are. Thereās room for both.

In my case, itās because there are many more Manhattan-centric posts on Chowhound - still - than there are here.

The wedge to which you refer was driven by CH itself, methinks. Iām but an observer. I observe, for instance, that Sampson listens and tries. CH management just blows smoke up dresses.
And there is a class of Hound that is immune to HO, just as there are Onions who will never return to CH. Thatās all I meant by choosing sides.

I clicked on last night just for fun . A reply to Bill Hunt ( I wish he was on Ho ) nine year old post about Root Beer and got a recent reply . I have a old reply to me about pissing off a server . I canāt reply at all . So does the CH crew explain to the new poster why the OP canāt reply ?
Are you saying that Bill replied? Well, good to know heās around. Over the year and a half Iāve been BFLd Iāve had questions asked of me. Nothing happens. No different than if someone just didnāt reply.
No Bill did not reply . Just a new sign up from CH expecting a reply from B.H. Itās just a bad product for CH to keep on these whatever the ā¦
Sister, please. Observers donāt use language like ācarrying their waterā or āNorth Korean-style snitching protocolā or āThe King Is Dead.ā You do know that your prior posts are still up, right?

Sure we do.
I was thinking about that. The banana board was a hoot. I was going to see if it was there but I never got around to it.
Allow me, please, to choose sidesā¦ I will have oven roasted asparagus, roasted sweet potatoes, fried apples, honey glazed carrots, the Wild Arugula with lemons from Marea, and Pommes Aligot from Minetta Tavern.

Excellent choices!
I just saw this post there and had to share. Really? You donāt know what to do with leftover garlic? BTW - what is LEFTOVER garlic?

Itās garlic you chopped and didnāt end up needing. Also, leftover parsley is parsley you chopped and didnāt end up needing, in case that was your next question.
