Greetings,
I have not been aware of this particular boycott. Could someone fill me in? If
it affects a hot BBQ sauce, it seems on topic to me. I assume we are talking
about removing the confederate flag? How does the BBQ sauce fit into it? If
every one else already knows this, there is no need to bore the group, but please
respond privately, I am really interested.
