Mr. Bill didn't say "people just bitch." Here's what he or she said:

"As for posting recipes, I stopped doing that long ago. There are the Gang
of the SAVAGE SEVEN, (you know who they are and so do they) who take
recipes, substitute every ingredient and every procedure, then have the
balls to say it is a lousy recipe.....i.e., remember Carla's Macaroni
Salad?"

Now 'fess up: Who are "the Gang of the SAVAGE SEVEN"?

I'm sure I'm not the only curious one.

Regardless, as I pointed out upthread, Mr. Bill has apparently relented. He
or she *has* posted recipes recently, e.g.,
