Hi smoke addicts!
The "Sausage" forum is becoming a little bit cluttered so I`ll have to tidy it up a little. That`s what moderators do... "tidy up". If a post in the sausage forum contains a recipe, it will most probably be left right there. If the post just asks questions or talks about sausages in general, it may be moved to a more suitable forum such as "technology" or "microbiology of meat" etc. Very often, it may even be moved to Hyde Park, depending upon the content of the post.
Very often, a post collects quite a bit of "off-topic info" and even "chatter". When this happens, a moderator will often "split" the conversation, leaving the original topic in place yet "splitting off" the chatter to a more suitable forum such as Hyde Park. It may be put in an existing topic or even a completely new one with a new name. At one time, we had a topic in the Hyde Park forum called "sticky-chat". It was sort of a catch-all for split-off chatter from other posts. It was also a great place to post general chit-chat. I`ll resurrect the topic, so watch for it. If you get a message regarding your posts, don`t panic! It`s just a moderator doing his job and tidying up our site to make it more attractive for others.
We`re always open for suggestions. JBK had a good one that we finally put into effect - the "User Recommended Outlets For Sausage Making Supplies" topic. And if you don`t agree with a particular modification to one of your posts, please let me know by writing a PM or EM to me. Thanks for your understanding.
Best Wishes,
Chuckwagon

If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it probably needs more time on the grill! 

Hey Chuckwagon,
Maybe you could put a list together (like an index of some type) that lets us know whats acceptable to post in each topic area of the forum?
I know that I have been Guilty
of posting something in the wrong area of the forum thinking that is were that topic belonged
etc..........
I sure a few of us newbies are really guilty of it
and not intentionally 
Thanks and keep up the good work,
John

John, I appreciate your insight and courtesy. Don't worry about inadvertently posting in a wrong forum. That's what moderators are here to do. We "re-route" if necessary. However, we do really appreciate people thinking about where to post a topic before they hit the enter button. Here's a rough outline of suggested destinations. My best wishes sir! Chuckwagon

As always your right on the mark!
I know the listing you just set up will help me
and I sure that it will help other members thanks for doing it!
Now I will be able to sleep at night or is it day when I sleep
I plan on printing out a copy and posting it next to the old computer for future posting reference.
I vow I will never post in the wrong area of the forum again
and if you believe that I got a real nice bridge with access to beach front property for sale
and the price is reduced for quick sale and I even offer great short term financing rates 
As always your right on the mark!
