I've gotten several dozen messages from people who are thrilled at the posting of cleartext recipes. Today I got one that complained about them. The message is so absolutely bizarre that I've removed the identity of the sender from it, in case he or she (I can't tell) would be embarrassed... ------------------ Forwarded message Received: by ihnp4.ATT.COM id AA20605; 2 Dec 86 18:54:41 CST (Tue) To: decwrl!reid Subject: mod.recipes Cleartext postings to mod.sources I would like to express my opposition to the Cleartext versions of every recipe that has been posted lately. it doesn't seem fair to penalize those of us who want to see the actual recipes to wade through an equal number of clear- text duplicates. the cleartext versions could be posted to net.cooks or some new newsgroup. it seems to violate the spirit of the mod.recipes purpose, and certainly makes the software distributed for processing recipes wasted. I wholeheartedly support the mod.recipes format and an worried that if half of the articles now are cleartext, soon they may all be and mod.recipes will just be another hodgepodge like net.cooks. what do you think?
