I get a lot of inspiration from this newsgroup but it's much more
from the discussion than someone just posting a recipe. Also,
when I visited, I remember a ton of recipes that were worthless ...
just cans of this and that, along those lines, obviously not tested
by the person who posted them. I didn't know why they were
posted at all.

That was just my impression, of course.
