You are absolutely correct and I regret dissing someone on a forum they 
are not a part of.
I should have never singled out one person. Instead I should have 
criticized the total waste of
a forum which could be dedicated to modular users of every manufacturer 
trading patches
and tips, instead of the sophomoric and utterly wasteful discussion of 
whether a Les Paul
is better than a Strat. A guitar contest? A modular contest? A big hair 
contest? It is still a
pissing contest.

On the "Lamb Lies Down on Broadway" album, Gabriel sings "No need to 
sell if you are
homeward bound" which applies equally to religious salesman and those 
that seek validation
of their purchasing choices by deriding the choices of others.  Only a 
teenager or a man
with the maturity of a teenager would obsess over this.

On every planet in the universe, a whiny bitch is still a whiny bitch.
