Guest guest Posted February 10, 2000 Report Share Posted February 10, 2000 As if " cheez " weren't bad enough, now you're using " kreem " too? This is a bit much. Does anyone actually think this is cute or funny? Just wondering. Talk to your friends online with Messenger. http://im. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christine >> I'm with you all the way here Christine. It seems maybe just a wee bit of common sense would be in order. This kind of reminds me of the time I posted a " no-fat " chocolate chip cookie recipe to another list. Like Karen said, we don't make up the recipe names...we just post them. And of course, they weren't no-fat, they were lowfat enough to fall within USDA guidelines for nofat though. You wouldn't believe the postings that one recipe generated. Sheesh....if people are that concerned they need to learn where their delete buttons are. Of course, someone got irritated when we talked about gifts (I think it was Christmas) on the MC list too. Go figure. I delete threads all the time that don't interest me. Lots of the tech stuff just doesn't apply. The same goes for recipes on the various lists...lots of them don't appeal to me. Well, there's my $0.02 Kristin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 10, 2000 Report Share Posted February 10, 2000 I think it's kinda silly, but then every time someone says " Worcestershire, " someone has to go into the " that's not veggie " dissertation, rather than just saying, " I use xxx brand of Veggie Worcestershire. What do you use in this recipe? " or some nonesense like that. So at least when someone's being cutsey with spelling, no one's going to waste time and bandwidth writing about animal products in Worcestershire sauce, when chances are pretty darned good that person submitting the recipe meant VEGGIE Worcestershire sauce in the first place.

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2000 Report Share Posted February 10, 2000 My sentiments exactly, Christine. And I feel the same way about recipes with chicken broth. I hope people assume that if a recipe is posted with chicken broth, they can substitute imitation chicken broth or vegetable broth. > > So at least when someone's being cutsey with spelling, no one's going to > waste time and bandwidth writing about animal products in Worcestershire > sauce, when chances are pretty darned good that person submitting the recipe > meant VEGGIE Worcestershire sauce in the first place. > > I don't see much point in this: M**t for meat, or ch*cken for chicken. > That's just dumb. > If someone's offended by just those words, they need to really get a life.

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2000 Report Share Posted February 10, 2000 To some people, though, every (did I mention EVERY) thing is a big deal. I mean, there's a moment to educate and time to look at the poster and say, " Goodness. She's posted 30,000 veggie recipes. I'll bet she just missed this one, or realizes I'm smart enough to substitute!! " But then all day long, I dealt with users where EVERYthing was a big deal today. <sigh> Point's been made, hasn't it Karen. <LOL> Nice to see I'm not alone, though!
