I've noticed with some concern that some members are publishing on the forums, word for word text and recipes which have appeared as copyrighted material on other web sites, without referencing their source.
There are a zillion recipe variations and those of us who to love to cook throw in a dash of this and a pinch of that to a standard version thus altering the original that little bit. If we pass our variation along on a forum like this we should at least say the original was in Dora McGinty's Great dishes of Zaire, or something. That'd be polite.
Some members do do this and even cite the URL which is the right thing to do.
But to pass off someone else's recipe - line-by-line and even word-for-word the text that prefaced it, as their own, is a bit rough
