Most people know not to send me those things that require me to do something and send it back to them and forty-seven other people. 1) It is not something I want to spend my valuable time doing, and 2) I'm not going to make someone else feel guilty for not wanting to spend their valuable time on it. I am assuming that the recipe thing in question here is one of the ones I got once. And an additional reason for not participating in the recipe thing 3) I don't think people really want my recipes as most of them include, "Open up the box of Zataran's Dirty Rice and follow the instructions on the back of the box. For variation, try other methods suggested on the back of the box."
