Sheesh, I have enough truble typing on a full sized KBD. I can't imagine 
BBSing using only thumbs or a stylus. Of course, almost anything is more-
or-less possible. But matybe not practical.  Bv)=

I don't know either. I'd imagine they were posted on a physdical board
at someone's work or school or church. Or posted to a conversation on
a BBS such as we are using right now.

I chose the recipe for the title's relevance to the subject. It's my
way of honourig the memory of my friend and echo participant Burton
Ford. Burt always said he wasn't a cook but an "eat". And he always
posted a recipe that in some way related to the subject being discussed.
Sometimes it was a "left field" and tenuous conn ection.It's known as
"doing a Burton".  Bv)=

      Title: Wegman's Fish w/Tomatoes, Olives & Capers
 Categories: Seafood, Vegetables
      Yield: 6 Servings
 
      6    Filets-Roughy, Trout, Sole
    1/2 c  Flour
    1/4 c  Extra Virgin Olive Oil

MMMMM---------------------------SAUCE--------------------------------
      1 ts Capers, drained
     12    Pitted kalamata olives;
           - halved
     12    Sun-dried tomatoes; drained,
           - cut up (olive oil packed)
     28 oz Can cut tomatoes w/basil
    1/3 c  Chopped parsley
           Salt & pepper
 
  Sprinkle fish lightly with salt and pepper and coat with
  flour.
  
  Preheat oil in large pan over medium heat. Add fish and
  cook for 1 1/2 minutes on each side. (A little longer [2 -
  2 1/2 minutes] for the Orange Roughy which is thicker and
  denser than the others, according to the demo man.)
  Transfer to paper towels to drain while preparing the
  sauce.
  
  Add capers, olives, sun-dried tomatoes and canned tomatoes
  to the frying pan. Simmer until heated through, about 2-3
  minutes.
  
  Add fish back into pan with sauce; simmer two minutes.
  Transfer to platter and garnish with parsley.
  
  Shirley and I had full servings of this at a demo at a
  local Wegman's Supermarket. It was superb. The demo guy
  agreed with Kathy Pitt's caution to be  careful
  about overcooking fish. Kathy, Chief Cook at Texas Red
  Lobster, wrote me once here about the best way to order
  fish: ask the waiter to slowly walk the raw fish on a
  platter through the hot kitchen and serve it.
