I don't read every thread that is posted on this message board on topics that I have no interest in. Suggest that you (and others) might want to do the same.

Some of these exchanges (on various subjects ... not just slabbing) if presented in a civil manner ... and not resorting to name calling, do have educational value to newcomers to this board who have not heard the pros and cons before.

Those who can't resist firing a salvo at the hobby or the club at every opportunity that arises are well-known by now.
