I think I first became aware of it when Senschirp mentioned a trade was broken here.
Yeah, Chirp's really good for giving props when they're due. Good stuff, we're developing some top end posters here. We don't have the numbers that HF has, but it's a hell of a lot more informed (IMO).
When you think about it, though, you can either have the numbers, or the quality. Fact is, the *average* fan is not only uninformed (or ill-informed), but simply not capable of sorting through the mess, figuring out what is true and what is made up, and then combining information from different sources to make the connections that lead to informed opinions or conclusions.
So, if we were to have numbers like those other sites, the quality would go down.
Although we do allow the occasional fluff-fest.
LOL. I made this exact argument years/months ago, and was branded
elitist by half the board.
Nobody likes to say it, but not everyone has an opinion that's worth your time.
Elitist? Maybe. But what can one do if one is simply better?
ETA: In the immortal words of the great Mac Davis:
Oh Lord it's hard to be humble
When you're perfect in every way
I can't wait to look in the mirror
'Cause I get better looking each day
To know me is to love me
I must be one hell of a man
Oh Lord it's hard to be humble
But I'm doing the best that I can.
