NN, I think you're right on. This NG is dead. Dead because of a small number
cynical, snotty, derogatory posters who sit on a
perch and demand a humble audience. There is little two way dialogue, only a
one way sermon on how barbecue is done. Even that is fairly rare.

This NG is going to die. It's unfortunate as this is really the only NG on
Usenet about grilling and smokinig.

This is not a troll, but an opinion. It's not intended to create a flame.
