I agree with you Roadwarrior. I remember the December post, but not much has changed. This should not be moderated by the moderators. It should be moderated by the members before they make a post.
Bass brat, I did not mean to include you in the possee. I apologize for the negative connotations that I alluded too. You responded to RW post, so I responded.
I apologize to everyone for causing the stir. I justed wanted the members to see the silliness that can come from brand talk. There are new members everyday asking questions about gear, and they need good sound advice, not brand wars. Many times that is exactly what happens though, a brand war. That does nothing for the original poster, but cause confusion and sometimes disgust. There are plenty of places on the net for brand supporters and devotees.
You brought up some good points.
