I tend to ignore recipes posted without relevance or comment but I
expect recipes in r.f.c to have been tested. That's one of the reasons I
don't look at the moderated rec.food.recipes since the group is
frequented by people who think it a service to post dozens of untested
transcribed recipes. The moderation prevents me from posting criticism
in that group.
