4x6 and 3x5 Recipe Cards

And I design my own and print on Avery stock.

Neither did I.

Nobody has made any such inquiries. This is SPAM and that's not the way to do business. Anyone buying anything form this joker will be supporting SPAM. Let your conscience be your guide.

Well -1 counts me in. Even if I used index cards ...I have a printer and I can make a design on my own. Even if I needed to go to a binary NG to get a picture or 2. But since I use NYC and MasterCook, what use it index cards.

Better yet get a 3 ring binder and Print recipes up on looseleaf. Have several plastic sheaves for when you need to remove the recipe from the book and are concerned about slopping on it. This is the time of year schools let out so get the binder from your kids.

And if you want to print out recipes to give with food gifts (for example, I often make up soup bases and spice mixes for gift baskets, and include recipe suggestions along with them) you can get Avery Design Pro software, free on their website

which will allow you to "fancy up" your recipe cards (and labels too).

If nobody made any inquiries, then this person was being deceptive. With all the scams going on over the Internet these days, you'd have to be crazy to do business with someone you already know is deceptive. Above all, DO NOT give them your credit card number or mail them a check! They can get your bank account number from a check.

I prefer recipes printed out on a big sheet of paper. Bigger type face, plenty or room for notes, etc. The only thing I'd use the 3 x 5 cards for is my SPAM recipes.

I posted my offer> Does anyone know where I can purchase or order 4" x 6" recipe cards? I

I know what you mean. I find the 3X5" cards are too small to hold all the information I want... I don't use any particular "recipe" cards, just plain white index cards (I assume that's what you'r looking for?)

There were quite a few postings that I saw in this and have had others tell me that they have an awful time finding the 4x6 size cards. There were also requests on where to find Christmas recipe cards :

Does anyone know where I can buy Christmas recipe cards online? I'm making those cookie mixes in a jar and I cant find recipe cards ANYWHERE

TIA Jen

This is not spam and was not listed as such. This was a listing put in as a response to inquiries that people were having trouble finding the size cards they wanted. This was the first time I have ever posted in a news group and was unsure how to list the response. I guess I am supposed to respond to the individaul inquiry? and not to the subject area? If it got listed in someone else's post I apologize.

The actual number of the article you're quoting is . It was posted on 1996/09/07. The fact that your answer came nearly 4 years later doesn't help your "it's not spam" argument.

I'll assume you really are a newbie. If so, go here:

don't come back until you've read the whole damn thing... (Posted and e-mailed)

I think, perhaps, a better idea is to add *you* to the killfile. Let's assume there was a misunderstanding on the part of the original poster. To react with such venom and callousness shows that you either have too much time on your hands or are trying to compensate for low self-esteem. Would it not be better to be helpful and explain where the poster went wrong, rather than to get on a high horse and show a snotty attitude? Sending the poster to a netiquette site is reasonable. Being a jerk helps nothing. Being in my killfile helps me not to see your useless drivel anymore.

*plonk*

Tsk, tsk -- you don't read Usenet much, do you? "Venom"? "Callousness"? My response was downright polite, compared to what most would have told the OP, who was spamming his/her card business based on a 4 year old archived post. But please, feel free to killfile me. Much better than having to read your sanctimonious drivel disguised as a reply...

Thank you Lurker. I did post my ad in response to a few I saw inquiring about cards. I have also recieved many e-mails from customers who had looked high and low for the 4x6 sized cards. I am new to the usenet and did not see the dates, did not expect to have such old posts come up.... I do not agree however that this was spam. It IS relevant to the subject matter, which is recipes and cooking. I may have made a faux paux by posting here without asking first, and with respect to that I did delete my original post, but it still should not be considered spam. I was advertising a legitimate product in an appropriate subject. By definition my post is relevant to the subject matter and is about something many cooks use. Either for their own recipes, tho many have moved to databases, or to share their recipes with others. Some feel it is fine to be rude because everyone else is, as shown by the response to your post. I suppose that because so many people in this world are inconsiderate and rude that it makes it right, right? I tend to disagree with this attitude and think that more people like yourself (Lurker) who are more willing to lend a hand rather than a fist are needed. So I thank you.

Posting anything for sale to a group such as this is definitely spam. It does not matter whether the item is relevant to the group's topic - the simple fact is that commercial offers are not permitted by the group's charter. A lot of the regulars here assume that anyone with a modicum of intelligence and courtesy would check first to see if posting an ad is okay.

And that is the key. Advertising, whether appropriate for the group or not, is considered spam.
