Its not as scary then, especially if you aren't use to playing it.

I'm not too keen about giving up a piece in any position, I'm not a good enough player to pull out a good position from it.

This is a great idea...I actually came to this forum to propose it, so i'm glad to see there is already support for it. How about a massive Sicilian tournament, any variation allowed?

Also, when chewie gets back and Russ gets this working "The Hard Core Pawn Stars" are sponsoring a match with the Bird open. Keep an eye out and study up!

I do not see why one would want to throw away a knight in the first 5 moves. Can you enlighten me as to this?

well...it's followed by 4...d4 5. Ng6 e5 6. Ng8 Bc4, that chases the knights away from the middle, and white can then develop some more pieces, I've had this played against me twice, and I lost both times 🙁
