I hear you, there was a lady in a low carb group years ago who took original
recipes that people posted and claimed them as her own, word for word. As to
the stupidity, there is that. I haven't seen any of those posts in the other
newsgroup that she mentioned because I have the fake addy coming up in
yellow and don't read anything that comes up in yellow there. It would be
simple enough for her to block the fake addy as well.
