Sorry if that last comment was a bit long. But honestly I think that's what people need here. Why don't we say that kind of ****? Probably because the less-informed, less-mature posters would call us pretentious asshats.
There is no way to judge who is worth our time that currently exists on the forums. We need a limited group of posters analyzing each post to see who is making decent arguments and who is using faulty logic or flat out making **** up. Trouble is finding that many people with nothing better to do who won't be biased or grow elitist/pretentious in their decisions.
Catch-22, anyone?
