So let me get this straight: You're referring to this forum as a "minute
spec [sic] in the Internet," while alluding to ANOTHER minute speck in the
Internet, viz., the recipe swap site which nobody here has ever heard of.

Let me guess: This "recipe swap" site is a blog? With advertisers who pay
based on the amount of hits the site receives? And with which you have some
kind of affiliation?
