I couldn't have said it better, or more passionately, myself.
Thanks for your post.
Please allow me to be the first to welcome you to the forum.
I for one am glad to have you about.

P.S. Don't worry about all the 'newbie' crap. Your have just as much right to post your opinions as anyone else around here. I don't know how to speak Canadian, but if they don't like it, F*** 'em, eh?
