Subject:Jim D, welcome! (Bar-B-Q and audience analysis) From:LaVonna Funkhouser <lffunkhouser -at- HALNET -dot- COM> Date:Thu, 16 Dec 1993 12:27:33 -0600
Welcome to our list, Jim D! A discussion on bar-b-q is
an unusual way to get started, but a good one anyway.
If you want to *really* get involved, I'm still taking
suggstions on the old (but always relevant) subject of
the steps or questions to go through to ensure a good

Yes, a weighty subject, but I'm in the process of establishing
some guidelines where there were none before.
