Recipe protocol question
 

I don't know whether I'm right or wrong.

When I mention on r.f.c. that I have tried another's recipe and enjoyed it,
I don't feel right re-printing their recipe even though it would make it
convenient for others to read it then and there. I'd rather give the
original OP the choice of publishing it again for others. Am I being overly
touchy?

Don't know, but I don't see the point of reposting something that's
been posted here. Maybe a google link, but it's easy enough to find a
recipe that I don't see why you'd want/need to re-post.

(As for giving them the choice, if they've posted it here once, I
assume they want people to see and use the recipe, so that's not
something I'd worry about.)

For me, it would kind of depend on how long ago it was posted and whether
you'd tweaked ingredients or not. If it's something that had been posted
years ago, googling is fine, but if it's something relatively common that
might have been discussed a lot, you'd likely get a lot of misses before you
found the right recipe. I've done that --- looked for a recipe that's been
mentioned, and some of them are hard to dig up.

So a repost might make it easier for people to find it. Or at least a link
to the old post, if you can find it.

If you've modified the recipe for your own taste, posting the old version
with your comments would be nice.

Just my 2 cents.

Go ahead and crib. As long as you attribute it correctly, you're doing

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.

If you want more brevity, you need to find a new ng.

Told you I was overly touchy! I always give the attribution on any recipe,
so I guess I'm in the clear. Thanks, sf.

IMHO as long as you give appropriate credit, it should be ok? :-)

I'd repost the recipe with correct attribution--unless,
perhaps you are posting in the thread that that recipe
appeared in.

Why does the phrase "more brevity" sound like an oxymoron? <g>

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.

I see nothing wrong with posting the recipe with attribution.

I think including the recipe that you're commenting on is a
consideration to your readers, and I can't comment on a recipe I've not
seen so it just makes sense to include it. Saves them the time/trouble
to look it up in the archives. All that is required is to make sure it
is properly attributed to the source.
There is nothing to say the OP would see your post and then repost the
recipe again.

Thanks, Goomba - that seems to be the consensus. I always post attributions
if they're available, so your ideas make sense.
