Alexis,
It is true that we men enjoy female opinions and input, particularly when they provide some useful information. However, your posts are generally either slams of somebody else's post or just incomprehensible rants. They make no sense more often then not. I feel like I need a translator to read most of your posts and frankly I for one am tired of having to scroll through hundreds of your useless posts just to find some useful information.
With repsect to the advertisers who post, please just let them do so without providing your opinion or commentary. They have a right as paid advertisers to do so without you hijacking their threads. Start your own thread if you see something you don't like or disagree with and would like to comment on. Without paid advertisers, we would not have a forum such as terb available to us hobbiests to search for information on local SP's, MP's, etc. I don't mind reading their posts to find information on new SP's, availability etc. We are all aware that their are many shills and shady people on here (including some advertisers) that like to provide false or misleading information. That is part of life no matter what product or service is being advertised. However, we are all grown men and have the ability to wade through the shit, do our own research and determine for ourselves if they are legitimate without having your 2 cents added to every post.
To everyone else reading this post, I apologize for being somewhat hippocritical by adding my 2 cents to this post. I don't do it very often; only when I am completely fed up with the ongoing antics of some people on this board that in my opinion obviate the usefulness of this forum and ruin it for those people who are attempting to use it for what it was intended: a means to find useful, relevant information about the industry and likewise pass on to others (i.e. reviews and advertising).
