That is outright rude! Anyone can scroll if in a hurry. All the recipies are blogs and frankly I have learned some awesome tips from taking time to read (or at least skim) these. I feel so blessed to have so many chefs and bakers available at no cost on the internet, I remember when one had to buy a magazine or cookbook. Support these talented people or at least be nice!
