That really sucks. There are no attributions on those recipes. I'd have
to search a bit more, but I'm sure some of them are mine.

I don't care who has them as I posted them to a moderated, though
public, forum, but when someone takes the names of the authors off,
that's nasty. Further, as a long-time poster to that group, many
recipes posted carried attributions to the original author and/or
cookbook that are now gone.

I know it's technically *not* copyright violation, but it sucks, never
the less.

Spelling doesn't count. Cooking does.

Yes, I long ago observed that she strips the attribution and
changes the names of the recipes. That really changed my view of
rfc and whether I wanted to contribute to it. I posted recipes
from my grandmother and mother as tributes to them, thinking
they'd live on in this tiny way. Nope. Just strip that
attribution right out, and change the name of the recipe so people
cannot tell one recipe for X from another--or whether it is TNT or
just some untried thing.

That's your spin on it. I doubt she's actually making any money.

So now it's a conspiracy, eh?
