I now officially hate you, because you broke my brilliantly laid out retort.
Retort? I could've sworn it was a troll. ;->
Na, no troll.
The reply stating a favorite was an opinion, possibly useful to the OP if he investigated. As a suggestion, the poster had no obligation to offer supporting facts, evidence, research, etc.
Sorry, there is one thing I really don't like: Giving out advice without telling why. Because it is really useless for the guy who got that advice. Why should he follow down that path? Why was he given that advice? Is there really a reason to put some research time into that advice?
In this regard, it was no different than *many* other opinions on many topics offered on the list that don't support a suggestion with rigorous analytical processes. And as usual, the OP can request more info or google.
Yes. Opinions. Opinions are good, but should be backed up - and not only when you're queried why you have that opinion.
And FYI, I've seen yellow and green fire trucks somewhere in the several places I've lived. And trees that are red (redwoods in northern California).
Good thing I live in Europe :)
Cheers,
