I have noticed this too, Charles.  Only difference is I don't really want to 
leave this list unles I am FORCED to do so.

Subject: [CnD] purpose of the list concern

I joined this list to get tips and tricks that a totally blind person would use 
when preparing food.  I was hoping for recipes that blind people have 
personally prepared.  I was hoping for modified recipes that eliminated 
phrasing such as “Bake until juices run clear.”, “Fry until golden brown.” and 
so on.  Recipes also are not even modified to be more specific.  Ingredients 
lists such as “half of a jar of spaghetti sauce” or “one bagt of noodles”, 
which are of no use are given.  What size is that bag or jar to begin with?  If 
I want unmodified recipes, they are available by the millions on the Internet.  
The trend is now, on this list, to a greater and greater extent, to post 
recipes copied from the Internet that people have not tried, with no 
modification for blind people.  To me, this tendency makes “Cooking in the 
Dark” less and less special.  It is becoming just another cooking list.  What 
attracts me to the “cooking in the Dark” podcast that Dale has done for a long 
time is that the focus remains on how BLIND people accomplish the tasks 
involved in successful meal preparation.  I am considering leaving a list that 
is becoming less and less meaningful to blind people.
