Hey everyone. Just want to let anyone that might be interested know that
there is a discussion going on at news.groups concerning the formation of a
new newsgroup dedicated to whole-grain foods, actually I started the
discussion myself. I know that there are some very knowledgeable bakers here
in the subject of whole grain breads, rye,whole wheat, spelt, etc, as in
alt.bread.recipes, but the exclusively whole-grain subject is usually a
fringe topic at best. I would certainly not be the one to find reliable
information on whole grain baking or health benefits, total newbie on the
subject but enthusiasm overflowing after my first attempt.

There are also groups in Yahoo (Jonathan Kendall's excellent group) MSN and
Google, along with websites dedicated to whole grain foods, but I would love
to see the subject brought to the avenue of newsgroups format. Big8
newsgroup moderators (and Brian Mailman) have suggested searching out other
enthusiasts and getting them to post at news.groups in my whole brain baking
newsgroup thread :

I don't expect everybody to be for the idea, but any signs of interest
posted in the thead will be accounted for by the Big8.

Also, I know there is alt.fan.bread.whole-wheat but it's pretty much a dead
horse, a more generalized whole grain discussion might do better.
