It went without saying that the list would have to have come from someone whose judgment I trust. I do "know" many of the longtime posters.

Ok, you say you don't have a lot of time to sort through junk. I get that.
That's it, really, in a nutshell.

But to IGNORE, think that that symbolically is. You're IGNORING another point of view. Probably one you might not agree with, or support but the fact that you are cutting yourself off from even CONSIDERING it...

I don't know- seems kinda like putting on blinders to me.

As someone said in this thread, 'trolls' can sometimes be great sources of information.
I have spent a lot of time in various internet forums, including this one. I am quite certain that trolls will not contribute anything useful, to me at least.
