I just think that this is harmless article, maybe it touches a nerve somewhere? I don't see where all this belligerence is coming from.
In any case, please refrain from attacks on a personal level. Internet is a strange animal - I would type things I'd never say in life and later on regret about it.
Some of you are 'old timers' on the board and its people like you that make this such a wonderful place to hang around. Lets make it better!
