dear dr. mabuce,
i would have to agree with you here. and, i think that this "contentiousness" seriously inhibits the flow of information and fosters "flame wars". as an oldster pacifist type, i ask. "can`t we all just get along..............".
can`t every style and type of gear be "right" for someone ? if i don`t agree, does that invalidate their freely made choice ? somehow, i just don`t think so. besides, if i don`t like something ( for whatever reason ), don`t i "vote" on it with my wallet ? either opting to buy (yes) or not (no) ? IMHO.
