After reading kazillions of posts, you develop a feel for who is blowing smoke, and who knows their stuff. When CERTAIN posters speak, I instantly place great weight upon what they say, because history has shown they are thoughtful, logical, and SMART. These are the folks who are responsible for the conclusions which I have summarized (or tried to, anyway). |
