I thought that it was posted in the new forum, but alas, it is not. I found it (at least what I think you are referring to) and have copied it here.

As for brining and marinading ... never tried it. I would not think it necessary to do both ... but, you bring up an interesting idea - try it and let us know how it turns out!!

Here is the copied material and URL:

I've wondered and asked the question "what's the difference between brining and marinading?" I think that I found my answer.
"Soaking meat or poultry in a light salt solution adds flavor and moisture deep in the meat in a way that a marinade, which just touches the surface, cannot. It works by osmosis: The muscle of the meat absorbs the salt water, relaxing the proteins and causing them to trap the water and flavorings."
