RE:---what is a paid basher--???? Its a term used by people that can't believe there are people with an alternate view to their positive outlook. It makes them feel better that negative input is only by so called "paid bashers" because reality is too hard to swallow. Negative and positive input should weighed equally and then act upon what you feel is pertinent. I feel you get more useful input by people who have been skin in the game and have been burned, than all this pumping with absolutely no evidence of anything positive happening.
