Depends on your definition of "much". I've been reading this group
for 7-8 years, and read r.f.c. before that.

Matter of interpretation, I guess. I've seen her posting recipes, and
I've never seen her claim that they are *hers*. Usually it's a
"here's a recipe for:" Not exactly a claim for ownership (and I don't
care, anyway, so don't go pointing out recipes where she says "here's
my recipe for(*)"). (usually, it's not a recipe for anything I'm
interested in, so I don't actually read the recipe.)

Whatever. I don't think it's worth getting my knickers in a knot, but
apparently it bothers you.


(*)which could easily be interpreted as "here's the recipe I use
for:", rather than a claim of ownership.
