It's the pounding of the subject into gravel, grinding the subject to grit, pulverizing it to powder, then looking at it with a microscope that makes people tired from time to time. There is a lot of ego driven discussion on this group that goes much farther than it should, and unless you look at it as a sort of perverse comedy it's easy to get angry at what goes on. Personally, I have a sense of humor. I figure that anyone who gets so wrapped up in the microscopic details of a piece of equipment, and so outraged at anyone who disagrees with them, will drop dead from a massive stroke one day while pounding out the 50th snide reply about the color of soft coatings and cleaning marks on pre 1950 Summawhatevers. Some of it truly is funny. The rest deletable. Argue on. Scott Stewart
