I am OK with resurrecting this thread but went through and deleted a number of off-topic and personal attack posts from back in 2010. There are still some of these left, including quotes from the deleted posts that repeat some bad stuff. If I have a free day I might go back and deal with those too but for now, I remind posters to both avoid personal attacks and off-topic posts.
