Indeed it was! Maintained by several members over the course of many
years. It changed hands a bit. It also contains many 'In Memorium'
listings of RFC posters over the years. I sort of figured it was going
by the wayside when regular poster Cheri Gaudet died. I was still able
to access the site and clicked on Contact Webmaster (last known, Chatty
Cathy) and asked that her obit be added to that page on the site. Never
heard back and it never happened. I got the same message Gary did when
I tried to access it some time last month. Yet, when I tried again a
few days later I was able to access the RFC Signature Dishes page and
printed off a recipe I remembered and knew I could easily find there.
It's probably shut down now.
Hey! Sheldon always complains about how no submits pics of themselves
to the RFC photo gallery. Maybe he'd like to buy the domain and become
webmaster. <j/k>
