@tiagom it's the same logic where people freak out about RAID 5 changing from "standard" from 1992 - 2009, then "unthinkable" from 2009 - SSDs took over, then "standard" for SSDs again. People tend to hear the current advice and apply it to decisions made decades ago and think that people are telling them that those old decisions are somehow wrong even though it's a completely different scenario.
If someone figures out new ways to do things, people who did them the old way tend to feel offended, as if it was wrong to do things the only way that they knew how. It's totally illogical, but it is how a lot of people operate.

What i find is that even when they are proven wrong they still defend it.
Because they feel that if they defend it, that maybe people who are watching won't agree that they are wrong, even thought they normally sound crazier and crazier.

I feel like this place is extra quiet tonight. SW, too. Haven't seen a post there in hours. Haven't gotten any responses to emails and texts that I sent, either. Has something happened outside of Houston?

The five year old came in and asked "can I have some sleepwear?"

Not the one that contains lightly toasted dead people.
The joyful type that is wall mounted and boils water -
