ROTFLOL!!! Cross-posting with RFC is dangerous. I wish whoever keeps doing

BULLSHIT! You have never been to NC, have you?
Eastern NC sauce has vinegar, black pepper, red pepper flakes, some cayenne
pepper, and just a tiny touch of sugar.

You add ketchup in the western part of the state.

I don't clutter up to degrade the usefulness of the group. That would be
step one. Other's haven't made that fundamental step. bye, dope!

You don't think much of yourself do you?

Assuming you know how useless your posts would be I suppose we should
be grateful, so thanks for not contributing a lick there Wallace.
Keep up the good lack of work!

I keep reading replies to poster to google this, google that, google is your
friend. So, what's wrong with lurking and learning?

no, I'm bitching about the deterioration of AFB. Hope it returns in its

I agree that it's a shell of it's former self. Not so much
for the (lack of) participants, though that's part of it, but
because basically bbq is a pretty simple subject. How many "I
cooked a butt today" threads can one read before you lose
interest and go elsewhere.

Contentwise, Q is a subject with relatively limited potential.
It dries up pretty quickly. That's one of the reasons I try
and discuss things like aging beef, cold smoking,
etc, whenever possible.

Out of curiosity, what's your idea of afb's peak period
and why?

Who knows, maybe the discussion will bring some life
back and inspire the revival of afb

Could you give us the latest date of said 'former glory'. Just as a
reference, dontcha know.

I guess everything does have to be spelled out.

Nothing is wrong with lurking, even if you grossly overstate the rate
of "google this, goodle that" replies to justify yourself.
Complaining about lack of content from someone who provides none,
well, that's worthy of comment. If you don't add or contribute, you
have no basis to complain as YOU are part of the problem you're
whining about aren't you?

Let me know if you're still hazy on this concept.

Frankly, I can't see that AFB has changed all that much since I first
got here. Important changes have occurred due to the ultimate 'PLONK'
as in Jack Curry and Cuchulain Libby AKA 'Hound", but many are
still around. Contrary to 'not so popular' opinion, barbecue is more
then a narrow subject considering the regionality and vastly different
preparation techniques involved.

I am not complaining abou the lack of useful contributions, I am complaing
about the multitude of foolish, nitpicky, backstabbing, gripe posts. That
is just clutter in the way of the useful contributions.

Let me know if you're still hazy on this concept.

not hazy at all, apparently you are.

Funny that you would use that line of reasoning. BBQ does
have regional variation, but outside of a few major categories,
there's very little actual traffic here in pursuit of exploring
it.

When is the last time someone showed up here trying to perfect,
say, their Owensburg Mutton recipe? I haven't seen you spending
much time posting about obscure regional preparations. I've
never seen you post a recipe here that couldn't be found
in the food section of the CNN website. The same is true of
99% of the people who come through here.

So while that may be true in the abstract, it doesn't have
much bearing on the popularity of afb, or it's gradual decline.
Another example of theory coming up against the real world.

If that's your criteria, it was much worse in years gone
by. Read through the archives.

A much higher percentage of the posts were sniping
and flaming. There were several flame threads that made
it into the mutil-hundred post range. There was far
more troll actitity, much (but not all) thanks to the
kibo people.

That's a sign. There's comparatively so little activity
here now the trolls don't even bother anymore.

So if your criteria is minimal conflict, afb is on
a long term improvement trend.

one of the best things about bbq is that its all different and almost always
good, Lee

it is very useful when just starting out because at first it seems
overwhelming, but by the time you read some sauce/rub recipes you can make
your own with an idea of portions and tastes, cuts of meat is also very
educational for the beginning bbq person, Lee

They're probably too busy perfecting their OwensBORO mutton instead!
