I have no idea what you said, because it was deleted before you said it. But, in a nutshell, there are very few people here who will tolerate pointless posts that just take up space, even if it is clear that there was no intent to inflame or insult or troll or whatever. If you have an opinion, you should be prepared to back it up. Ideally, you should back it up in the same post in which you state it. Saying "HIARCS sucks", or something of that nature, just flags you in the minds of at least 90% of the people here as a troll (and usually they're right), and in the rest as somebody doesn't have anything useful to say at all. And, as far as I can see, you STILL haven't backed up your initial statement (although I admit that I haven't gone through every post); all you've done is try to defend the validity of it. Trust me, that's a huge waste of everybody's time, including your own -- unless, of course, you ARE a troll. And finally, thanks for reminding me why I will never volunteer to be a moderator again. jm
