I applaud you bmudd, Administrator, for a job well done!
You have defied the Holy Grail of BBQ with facts, logic and wisdom, THANK YOU, for doing your job, I'm certain the ripple will be felt across all the other bbq sites on the web as well!
I too agree with the other posters that we don't we eat enought "dirt," or at least you guys don't, and hygiene, common sense and caution is important.
