Just want to post some opinions after reading all 17 pages:
-Watch anyone that uses "always" and "never" often.
-I have seen guys I would lay odds are chemists or engineers give expansive, knowledgeable answers that had nothing to do with the original question. Unfortunately, they jumped to conclusions before finishing reading the entire first post.
-There is more than one way to cook chicken. Just because you find a recipe you like, does not mean the rest are wrong.
-Steer clear of the "north / south" debates. In the universe, pure white and true black are rare; but it is instead filled with the infinite shades of gray. As are most truths.
-On the cigar forums I visit, you would have been buried by this point as a troll, OP. Many high post count members over there get a kick out of giving bad advice to noobs too lazy to do a search. After being there for years, these people are like saints. When reading through deathbrewers thread on partial mash, I wanted to hunt down and beat with a stick the people that asked the same questions repeatedly that were answered on the first three pages. But Deathbrewer patiently continued to answer their questions. How do you rate that kind of loyalty? And would you want to take a chance that some thumbs downs or bad ratings would cost the forum a member like that?
-If you sit read and read, you learn soon enough who you listen too, and who you just stare at the two chicks making out in their avatar. :rockin:If you are unwilling to do the reading, (or to see that the same question is asked lower on the page) you deserve what you get.
-And finally, do we need a rating system where Revvy gets any more props than he does already? His head will get so big he won't get through most doors!
