Hi and a big WELCOME to AFB. :-) In order to get a flavor of what this
newsgroup spends most of its time talking about, please read the FAQ which
is located at:
http://www.eaglequest.com/~bbq/faq2/toc.html

It is the best single-source document on traditional barbecue that I've yet
to see. And that's what this NG is primarily focused on... traditional
methods of BBQ.

Most of us also use gas grills -- I myself use a Weber Genesis
from time-to-time -- so grilling and other forms of outdoor cooking
are sometimes talked about. It's just not the main focus for most
of us here.

This is a primary hang-out for a lot of hard-core BBQ "purists", and it's
the main theme of this NG. So if you're a griller, and you have a recipe for
ribs or pork which you think of as "bbq", don't be surprised or upset if we
attempt to "show you the light". :-)

The FAQ will help you understand the differences between grilling and
barbecue, and why we will try to pull gas-grillers toward the light of real
'Q, and why we may use gentle corrections to wrongly-used terminology.
Hopefully this post will help you avoid getting your feathered underwear
into a ruffled knot, because we really want you to stay. And you may just
decide that you need to set the gasser aside for hot dogs, hamburgers,
and steaks, while picking up a wood-fired pit to 'Q the stuff dreams are
made of.

Best and Warm Regards to y'all. BG

HINT: Trimming the posts to which you respond to, along with bottom or
interleaved posting, is what we all prefer here.

Dave, this NG is an open newsgroup, as opposed to a moderated newsgroup.
This means that regardless of the original charter language, or the
intent of the originator of the NG, what is posted is what posters find
relevant today, at any moment. If this were a moderated NG that wouldn't
be true. Fortunately it's not.
At this moment the majority of posts don't fit your definition of
"barbecue", or "que". That's the way it is. You can't change that. You
have to live with what posters view today regarding the quesion: "what
is"barbecue" anyway? For many, including me, that is a very broad
subject includes gas grills, traditional charcoal grills, cooking a
steak, and so forth.
Cheers,
Kent

No one has said that the group is moderated. So, why the attempt to moderate
*my* post? The rest of your post has just been answered.

I would suggest that you simply take a poll, asking if participants would
like to have the "Welcome" posts stop. I'll be happy to abide by the
results. Democracy in action and all that. :-)
Dave

I'm not moderating your post. You posted. I'm responding.

I need them, I'm too lazy to bookmark the FAQ URL and I'm always needing to
skim it Sat for Sunday's plans =p.

I've been out of ng for a long time now, but I believe the proper response
to Kent, or anyone else who doesn't want to see a poster/post is "That's
what a killfile is for." I wonder now how many ng readers even have a
killfile, lol.

I never said you *were* moderating my post. I said you were "attempting" to.
Which seemed to fit with your usage of "moderated" as your wording choice
when addressing my post.

Too few know enough to look up the master usenet FAQ for expectation of
basic behavior for any group, let alone bother to look around in one they
want to post to. It should be welcome by most, those few that have bitched,
well, they were already malcontents werent they?

I wish Kunt would store his thawed chickens in his garage like he suggests.
