Welcome to SCA-Cooks!
Pardon me, but were you a poster on the Rialto in the early 90s or late 80s?

I think I may remember you from there. If not, my appologies for mixing you up
with someone else.

Yes, this is something I try to tell folks and often have trouble convincing
them of. Something can be posted to the web and folks can make use of it even
if it is not perfect. And their feedback might well be useful in catching
errors and simply cleaning things up. One of the advantages of web publishing
is that, unlike with paper publishing, an item can easily be corrected. One of
my standard policies with articles submitted to the Florilegium is that the
author can make updates (or removal requests) at any time.

Thanks. If you are interested, I might also be interested in some of your work for the Florilegium. Perhaps that will give in a stable home with a fair amount of pass-by traffic.
For an example of other useful works in the Florilegium, take a look at this translation in the FOOD-MANUSCRIPTS section:

                                        1529 "Libre del Coch", part 1 of 2
                                        by Lady Brighid ni Chiarain.
