I think Readware's posts have been very valuable and agree with you that he appears to know far more than anyone on this thread does about the industry, certainly far more than yours truly. Having said that, I do know a little about decision making and critical thinking, so let me offer this perspective. Independent of the specific instance of Readware's credibility, it is well-established in research that we tend to seek information which confirms our viewpoint and often fail to seek or even actively avoid disconfirming information. Obviously, this bias is not necessarily helpful in making good decisions. So, I think we should welcome skeptical comments and challenges to our point of view as long as they are on subject and not the kind of adolescent, name calling posts which pop up all too frequently on all too many threads. To quote Mr. Stills and Mr. Young, "for what it's worth."
