IMO - if you're taking the time to reflect on a recipe in a public
forum that has been previously posted in another thread, then you
should include it in your (original) message. You say you always
mention the OP's name in your post, so it's not like you're stealing
and it saves me from noodling around in google to find the danged
thing. So, post it already! Those recipes aren't state secrets.
