Not too funny; I seriously thought about collecting all of the recipes from net.cooks for a year, cleaning them up, writing an explanation, and publishing--net addresses and all. I figure the novelty alone would sell enough copies to pay publishing costs and profit...but wait! A lot of those recipes are *copied* from extant cook books, and only some are acknowledged; I'd have to certainly contact the publishers of those (as the original submitters had not). And, truly, is the net public domain, so that I wouldn't have to get permission from everyone I could contact to publish their recipe? How about names--do I credit them, or is publishing their name (and net address) going to get me into trouble?? I've got all the recipes. I decided not to do it. Call me lazy, call me coward...
