Non Knee-Jerk Takes

[hakeemfaan]

@"Jommybone", this is a really great thread! You've inspired some of he best posts on the topic (including your own), and the great posts include several different views of the trade. Just wanted to say thanks for the thread because I've enjoyed reading it so much. And thanks to everyone for taking the OP seriously and coming up with some great posts!

I would disagree with fif on this. If each of us just want to start our own thread saying this is a non knee jerk reaction thread and then spam the board with our own views that is not the best approach. I thought the original thread was top notch too whether I agreed or disagreed with the views posted.  I took the time to read each opinion carefully because people had invested their time in it.  I felt it was a bit insulting for OP to say that he didn’t want to wade into those and then started another thread where more of the same opinions abound. 

You are a mod. If this is the way you want each of us to go that’s fine.
