Guest guest Posted August 23, 2004 Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 Wuz a-thinkin --- We've got some wonderful recipes on this list now - remarkable considering how new the list is - and considering that we ask that all recipes be 'tried and true', that is to say that they have been tried by the person posting it. Even better if you have done so and added bits of your own to fine-tune it - that fine tuning is essential, I think we all agree, to a good recipe. Cooking may be a 'science' but it's not a chemical experiment! LOL But now comes a tricky bit. How about a tried and true recipe not so much from a cookbook or journal nor from a webpage in cyberspace nor from grannie's spidery handwriting in a worn notebook, but from Another List? Theoretically, this should be great - as long as you have tried it, etc etc. But there are a couple of problems here. One is that one list becomes an echo of another - often people post the same recipes to All the lists they are on at once - in separate posts, maybe, but still all at once in the same week or even the same day. But now if we start importing some of those recipes posted by others to, say, *this* list (and ours to others), then we might as well get all the moderators together and form one big list and have done with it ;=) Okay, I exaggerate - it's in my nature and I'm still fighting it after all these years! The other problem is the problem of crossposting from anywhere without the permission of the original poster. Even when credit is given, it isn't always what might be found to be acceptable to the originator of a post. Think about it ;=) I've just thought of a couple of positively scarey possibilities which would absolutely freak me out!!! ROFLMAO Anyway, I was just thinking about this stuff over the weekend and guess what - you guys are the lucky recipients of my undigested thoughts ;=) As for crossposts in general, etc. etc., please check the House Rules if you are in doubt. They are there for a reason - and intended to help not hinder. Hope you all had a good weekend. We did. It was cool and sunny and yesterday we walked along the lake in the park, lunched at a lovely little Italian restaurant, and read the evening hours away. Lazy! And the cat only threw up once. Best love, Pat ;=) aka greenfury Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
