Millions think McDonalds is great tasting food and are satisfied with eating
it. The 'tastes good' tactic of yours is sooooo 1969, and a sadly lame
argument. Thank goodness the minions are safe because you are satisfied to
let folks continue thinking it is great stuff, and not encourage them to a
higher standard.

What is it, 'traditionalism' or 'purism'? And you think traditional bbq is
crap, eh? Obviously, you are a bit sensitive on the subject. Advocates of
mediocrity always lay that same silly accusation at the feet of those who
encourage excellence. I can't figure out if it is because they are too lazy
to persue excellence, or have consistently failed in their attempts at such.

Wow. You do realize how silly you sound trying to push that non-sequitor
onto a ng dedicated to barbecue, don't you?

And the millions served by McDonalds and Burger King agree with you. Damn
those purists and traditionalists who insist on a higher standard!!

Thanks for letting everyone know your standard of excellence; it helps when
those seeking advice know what their advisors think.
