I regret that I wasn’t out loud clear enough in the vanity - it was written by BlackElk and he gave me permission to post it as a stand alone rant, and also to copy some of his other comments on this thread.
I could never express myself so well or have such cogent thoughts. He’s a league way above me!
You know, I saw that downthread. My apologies.
Doesn’t matter though — it’s a great rant and I still ave a lot of respect for the work you do here.
