I just wanted to comment on this even though it may be slightly off topic.

How else can any type of special interest group continue to exist without
"newbs" ?  While I realize that usenet can be anarchistic, especially with
the addition of so many people now online that can figure out how to use a
newsreader and/or google groups, these individuals usually can be taken care
with the proper filters.

Just as much as anyone, I enjoy a good cup of java, and believe a great
offering is a heavenly start to the day.  While I am not currently roasting
my own, I have been pondering this, and just may decide to take the plunge.
I have been reading through this group for the past couple of weeks, and I
believe that this would be a good place to find advice on where to find
relevant information as to how to get started, as well as some tips/tricks.

While I'd hope that my queries would not come off as simplistic as described
above, as one of the "newbs" I may at times be distracting or ask for some
clarification on something that may be quite simple to anyone that has been
partaking in this endeavor for some time.

So, my first newbe question to this group is what sites and/or textbooks has
anyone found that I could use to decide how I would like to get started?  I
am sure there has to be different methods, equipment and raw materials
(beans) that one can use, with pros and cons to each (what process
doesn't!), so I'd like to start with a few sites/books that in the opinions
of the users here actually have good information about these different
options.

If there is a FAQ for this group that covers some of this, please point me
to it (I have looked through the caffeine FAQ, which has some good
information, but not exactly what I was looking for).
