There are one or two r.f.r members that just seem to load up recipes from
other sources constantly and they've transcribed them with no care for
accuracy. I kf'd those users.

It's far better to google or ultimately visit a peer-review recipe website.

I don't think you can get on the internet anymore without a web browser.
Gopher is long gone! I wonder why r.f.r actually exists anymore.
