I kinda want to bang my head into a bloody pulp paste every time these come up.
OP, you REALLY have no excuse for bringing this topic up like many a BLder has done in the General Discussion. Whether legitimate questioning nor trolling, you, like many others, need to stop with these. All you're doing is encouraging the worst of the community, and mind you, you're not going to get a straight answer AT ALL. At this point, this isn't even your topic anymore. The loudest amongst us have more or less threadjacked this unfortunately.
Look, I don't want to seem like the typical angry Blder here. I just want to not be reminded of issues people can't seem to find a solution towards. Because in the end, NO ONE benefits from this besides making the community more or less unappealing towards newbies.
Caribou, I know you miss the old days, and to an extent I can sympathize with that. However, I don't really get what this is supposed to accomplish. Quit responding to people on the thread, hell just lock it already and let it fade into obscurity. Might as well at the very least make room for more of these identical threads in the future in terms of front page estate.
Just remember this: Don't think of laziness as a means of denial towards creativity. Think of it as a way to prove your determination/insanity. There are so few successful AND creative people because things like laziness help root out the muck for the best possible quality out of the pool.
I have no idea how this can relate to you. It's 1 in the morning and I'm tired. However, I might as well get this off my mind at least once and provide an answer that isn't solely based on how my perception must mean others have the same perception of an issue as I do. We're always going to be split on this issue I feels, so I might as well try to alleviate some of the stress and temptation of responding to these.
So...... yeah. Have fun kiddies. I'm hitting the hay.
