[Sca-cooks] Honey-Roasted Beets

[Tom Vincent]

There were no presumptions to begin with, so no assumptions should be 
made. 

I simply found what I thought to be a nice beet recipe suitable for a 
feast and, like other posts I've made, it was met with accusations, 
insults, undermining, usurpation, self-promotion and, of course, no 
thanks.  I didn't make any claims about it, just presented it to be 
helpful and sharing. May I suggest that if you don't care for it, simply 
do what I did with the recent dozens and dozens of frivolous marshmallow 
posts and delete them. Speaking only for myself, if I wanted to present 
a Med/Renn recipe and my redaction for it, that's exactly what I would 
have done.

I'm not interested in arguing with you or anyone else. I just disagree 
with your claims and conclusions.  Please don't, as others have done, 
take one word or phrase out of context and bitch about it or blow it out 
of proportion.
