I posted this on abf because Gary is a regular contributor and some
of his posts are pictures taken during these dinners around Chicago.

I didn't post it on afb because it has no connection to barbecue.

I couldn't agree more. The more we treat newsgroups like citizens band,
the more they're going to resemble it. There is a structure for newsgroups
including the 'alt.*' groups. While I don't advocate dotting every single
'i'
and crossing every single 'T', I'd like to see the vast majority of text
kept
to a text group.
