Hey Al... here's a thought...If you don't like the BS threads,
then...
A) Don't contribute to them
and
B) Don't start them!
Simple!
What you've done here is barely a step above base internet trolling... posting on an inflammatory topic, and then setting yourself up to be able to insult anyone who responds to you regardless of their post.
Now, I don't know you, and I don't know your reasons for posting here, but if you REALLY want to keep things based on "folk" then POST ONLY TO THOSE THREADS. And keep off the flamebait. The only thing around here it will destroy is your credibility.
Sheesh...
