Again... this is more about difference of style and media than literal and actual, black and white exclusivity. Back to my main point... I don't like wading through the forums. I like my messages handed to me. I come not to damn the forum, but to explain my own dislike of the medium. There "exists" reasons why some dislike them other than a simple subjective "i don't like" reaction.
It is amazing to me in this discussion that there has to be a right and wrong side to the argument when (And no, Tim, I am not talking about you in this post), all I am talking about is personal subjective opinion... which I have stated it not for everyone to have to agree with. Some like... some do not... there are reasons... they are justified even if they are not universal. They are not right or wrong, they just are. Man, if we had as many posts as this about a particular MODEL and how to build it, we would be getting somewhere! At this point though, I am going to stop responding to this argument. It is academic at best and non-constructive at worst. I COMMEND the forum makers and maintainers for their work! More power to them. But I like lists better. So mote it be in Haggardland. Other kingdoms may do as they wish without any antagonism from Haggardites or from the Haggardland Government. -The Haggard King, Sovereign and sole citizen, Haggardland, Inc.
