Or you could just ignore the recurring threads and pm's, go to the posts you want. Its important to keep members like you around because sometimes there is a lot of bs being read by new members, broke college students like myself. It's hard to prove something is wrong or not the best route when you have no support and they won't listen to the facts at hand, instead listening to rumors. One thing I hate most is new young members who are not used to being in a public forum and take everything to heart, they argue with you for giving them a suggestion or opinion, or they think they are always right and love to express that.
Happy trails either way you go!
