Well, I really wasn't looking to get into a security debate. I was
basically wondering if there was any TECHNICAL reasons why it
shouldn't be done, other than as you say, maybe opening it with
Wordpad and ruining it.
I've put a firewall in place. Now if I can figure out how to set up
the rules. LOL
I was just thinking that if a hacker hit a server with thousands of
files on it, he'd look for something that would catch his eye and
hopefully just bypass my text file full of recipes. Just looking at
increasing the odds in my favor a bit. :)
