I originally posted a suggestion to create a net.cooks.recipes, but based on response and general flamage about newsgroups, I've decided that it should be created as a moderated group. I will happily volunteer to be the moderator, though I won't fight anybody if they decide that they would rather be the moderator--it's more a willingness and a belief that I know how to do it, rather than a heartfelt need. My intention is that mod.recipes have recipes sent out in nroff/troff format, and also periodic issuance of software that people can use to make cookbooks out of what they find there. I know that some small percentage of the net does not have access to nroff/troff, but somehow I can't get excited about that. I intend to keep my master copies of the recipes in Scribe format, and compile them down into xroff before posting them, but that shouldn't concern you all. Naturally I will cull good recipes from net.cooks, and also send out things that people post directly. -- Brian Reid decwrl!glacier!reid Stanford reid@SU-Glacier.ARPA
