RE: pumpers versus basherslongtermview...I hear you.
The problem is that you live in an imperfect world...and by that I mean it's a world that has other people in it that aren't you. (I always chuckle when I think about the one-liner-- "I love everyone, it's just people I can't stand.) You know what it is you'd like to see on a board like this. But the fact is that what you see on this board is completely NORMAL for a board like this.
And although you are a long and seem to know and understand perfectly EVERYthing there is to know about Eco and could therefore be of benefit to all the rest of us who couldn't possibly know as much as you do and therefore undoubtedly have NOTHING of value to share with you, I think that for your own personal sanity and enjoyment perhaps you should start your own board where only posters named longtermview who think exactly like you and know exactly what you know and have exactly your preferences would post. Posters could take the names longtermview2-xx and you could have long conversations and debates with yourself. Then no need to come here and read what we underlings and inferiors post and get your panties all in a twist...just a thot...jt
