But David... of course I would agree with it.

This was basically the essence of my proposal last october : 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia%3ARecipes_proposal

It was not supposed to be a rule, but only a set of guidelines.

But there could be no final agreement on it since

* there were some people strongly in favor of full removal of all 
recipes. So they opposed it in principle (Gentgeen and Andre I suppose 
would)

* there were some people strongly in favor of keeping them all in Wikipedia.
So they opposed it because they feared some recipes would be moved 
(Jamesday for exemple)

* and many people who just generally agreed.

But since there were people willing to keep it all and others willing to 
delete it all, nothing got out of it.

Conclusion : all recipes were removed, according to Gentgeen by 
consensus. His consensus.

What else to say ?

All I felt I could do was at least to remove a rule which is obviously 
not making consensus amongst ourselves. I think it is ridiculous to have 
rules which were never voted for and are clearly not agreed upon. Only 
on anarchic Wikipedia could we find such a situation :-)))) Funny Wikipedia.
