Topic: Bombay Aloo Group Test

UC:

Here is the UC one - it is for Sag Aloo but the spinach is left out):

Chris, just comparing your online version (as incorporated into my web page) with Dave Loyden's original, and I discovered that he actually has a recipe for Bombay Aloo on page 64.  Is there any reason why you chose the Sag Aloo version (minus Sag !) rather than the real thing ?

As with the onion bhaji group test, I've taken all of the recipes for this group test and reassembled them into a web page with consistent formatting, etc., for ease of reference.  As there was a complaint from one Cr0 member when I did this for the onion bhaji test, I am not publishing the URL; I will be happy to supply it by p.m. if anyone would like to use/print the web page to assist them with their participation in the test.

Phil, as you know (because we have discussed it), I can see no compelling reason why you feel a need to take recipes from this forum and publish them elsewhere.  I don't fully understand your reasons for doing so or why you can't do what you need to do here?

Irrespectively, what you are doing is in breach of individual copyright.  Other recipe authors may not object to it (which is their right) but I do (which is my right).  It is also in breach of this forums rules. 

Phil, I find it odd that others would complain about your efforts to assist, I offer apologies on behalf of members who value your efforts to help

There is nothing "odd" about it commis.  I also appreciate others' efforts to help but, in this case, this forums content is being taken and published elsewhere on the Internet (to a site called http://bir-recipes.org.uk, no less!) for reasons I do not understand.

It would be a simple matter for someone to put a front end, and structure, on that site, and they would have a viable curry cooking site with content taken from this forum!  Though I am not suggesting Phil would do this (but others have), I think we should be mindful of the possibility and strive to protect copyright.

I, for one, object to my copyright material being published elsewhere without my express permission.  That is my right, that is my position, and others should respect that.

complainers please get a grip. we have good members so please utilise them to our advanage

Sorry, moonster, but it would not be the first time that my (and others') copyright material has been taken from here and published elsewhere. 

The consequence, for me, is that I am very reluctant to post any further recipes on this forum(hallelujah! you may cry!  ).

PS:  I don't want to get into some heated, protracted debate and personal insults about "he said, she said, he said" and the ins and outs of copyright.  I am simply stating my position for clarity.

Bound to make a difference, but I agree : it's awfully tempting !  Still, best play by the rules for the purposes of the test, but maybe make a parallel batch with the Mick pre-cook and then you can do a real-time comparison and report.

good idea phil, i will do a seperate batch of potatos for this test.

 I will post my findings on the difference in quality between the two precooked potatos.

I agree. I was shocked to read about Phil''s outrageous move. In my opinion, it's well out of order.

I agree. I was shocked to read about Phil''s outrageous move. In my opinion, it's well out of order and Phil should probably be struck off as a result. Who the hell does he think he is?

My sarcasm detector nearly failed on me there....that was sarcasm, right?

I'm serious. How can you think it's acceptable - unless pre-agreed with Stew (Admin) and others - to simply walk off with material from this forum and re-publish it on another web site?

[Ramirez]

I'm not going to get involved in this, because quite frankly, I am sick of it. I'm glad I quoted what you originally wrote because I see you have conveniently edited your post now.
