wow, never realised how close to their hearts ET is for some people!
i wouldn't have thought YOU would be the type to get upset at the close-mindedness (if that's indeed what it is) of other posters. changing other people's minds is nigh on impossible on a message board, hell, it's damn freakin hard in "real life" too, but at least you get to read reactions and can afford to be patient. on a message board it's pretty much you state your opinion, they state theirs. most of the benefit is for third parties. that's the way i see it anyhow.
hope this doesn't mean you're gonna leave the ET FFL! (uptik2000, forget it bro, no amount of new backs is gonna help you against me! )
to all those people tired of ET. wonderful. thanks for sharing the great news!
seriously. is there really any need to tell everyone how you feel about it? don't like it, don't have to read it. doesn't get much simpler than that. for the most part, i agree that the quality of discussion is less than what it was 1, 2 years ago (not that i was around back then, but i've spent a lot of time reading old threads). that's just the way it goes though. most of what there is to be talked about has already been talked about by the "old guard", and then you're left with very little to discuss. a new generation comes along and brings up all the classic topics, you get some new insights (maybe better ones), a new crop of newbies looking for all the answers, a new "event" (9.11, PDT rule, "pick the bottom of the bear" for examples) etc etc and life goes on. fwiw, i'll be sticking around.
