whole lot of rock salt! nah bullshit! you have no idea how much influence these type of threads have on people. you plant a seed in someones head and enough people go along with it then that poor bastard thinks thats the way it ought to be.

number of times people have been, for better or worse, persuaded to upgrade to something because thread after thread that's all they read, or worse, a new truth about a product is found out and everyman dog and fleas jumps on it to taste some of that golden spray!

i hardly think its about informing choices, more like reinforcing your own ones!
