  The replies I recieved were virtually unaminous:  the subject of net.cooks
is cooks and cooking, not recipes.  My blunder, the description of the news
group periodically posted in the list of news groups and content (in 
net.announce.newusers),is that net.cooks is about cooking, not just recipe 
postings.  I also observed today that mod.recipes has been created, I don't
think it will be as successful as possible because it is mod and not net,
but I hope it works out.  Those of you who pointed out I did not leave a
recipe in the last article, look for me in mod.recipes!
