No, it is not. 
I have solicited opinions as to whether this type of info should be on the FAQ. I plan to abide by the consensus of the list.

I have also solicited for a "committee" to review/approve the content.
Until I get such endorsement, I will keep the site "Unofficial".

So far yours is the only negative reply from the list regarding recipes.
I have already received several positive replies.
As I said in previous emails, I would not choose the recipes,
rather, I let the list select.

That is why, if you bothered to notice, I have made no tie-in/link to my personal website, nor does my name appear on the CHL FAQ part.  (My email does, in case someone has technical trouble with the page.)

Again, as stated above, I completely disagree with you.
However, it is up to the collective list decision, and the moderator, whether we should have an "official site".  The content of any "official" site should be reviewed/approved in some manner -- independent of where it is placed.  

In that regard, I am merely trying to get the ball rolling, and to collect some opinions.
I certainly have yours now.
