If I post a recipe here and someone refers to it years later, I certainly
wouldn't object to their re-posting it. What could possibly be the basis
for any objection?

If I'm posting in reference to someone else's recipe, I usually do post
their recipe, along with my comments (usually how I tweaked the recipe to my
admittedly chile-tolerant and chocoholic tastes). The OP posted it here for
people to see (and use and enjoy), right? Moreover, if I'm posting ABOUT
the recipe, I think it's only courteous to INCLUDE the recipe along with the
post. For me, it's more of a pain to fire up my browser and search Google
for the recipe if someone only posts a Google link to the original post --
it's not THAT big a deal, but I'd rather see the recipe in the post.
