If you like them, good for you. I use a very light mustard slather when I'm putting the rub on pork ribs or butt, but that's the only thing. As for a baste, I find the vinegar gives the meat a bit of a sour taste, at least on my palate, and I prefer to use a beer or fruit juice.

And my post lets you know I don't know anything? Because BBQ is a friggin' science, right? I don't like the flavor, I didn't say your points weren't valid, did I? I just don't like it. I was confused by your post when you quoted the particular one of mine that you did.

you dont taste the vinegar and yes BBQ is a science. id suggest you go back to class hoss.
