Alright, I just think it is nice to know who you are dealing with. Really,
the sarcasm is not necessary.

Well, first of all, this thread is sort of a mini debate. We display our 
opinions and base them on some fact, or at least try to, then someone else
posts they're opinions, until we get sick of responding. But your original
post had no constructive purpose. You just insulted a person who had posted
an article that were his opinions, but he backed them up. You did'nt say 
anything about GNR or about the post. My post was just to try to get you to,
in the future, at least state your views. What you had to say was "garbage"
and it did not prove anything, except that you like to insult people. From
reading your article, I could not tell whether you liked GNR, disliked GNR
but liked to flame people, or just liked to flame people.

by the way, it only takes two or three minutes to write a .signature, and it
is much nore convienent to make instead of typing everything over in each
post.
