Sure did - I come by about once a month to see if Kent is still
jerking around the group. He is. Did you read the pizza thread?
And if you recognized me as a troll...why the hell would respond. You
simply prove my point. Ever hear of filters?
Kent could troll this group with a post about wrapping a dog turd in
foil and steaming it in a BGE and several would rise to the bait.
I suppose you would find that interesting too? The argument seems to
be that trolls have to be challenged so newbies won't be led astray.
While that may be true, a simple statement would be enough. Instead a
troll can start a long cascade of worthless posts and it always does.
Kent haters love for Kent to post. That is probably the only reason
they hang around.
A newbie drops in, reads a few posts and moves on figuring that there
are a lot better places on the net to learn about or ask questions
about BBQ. And he would be right.
Do a history check - posts are way down and meaningful on topic posts
are few and far between.
I'll be back in a month or so to check on the death throes of the
group.
