LOL.
Classic whining.
I'd think that a thread like the first one you mentioned is better argumented, so therefore it deserves to be open.
The second one is just a lot of bitching and moaning about an unsubstantied source and about a topic that's hardly relevant.
We have you, pdxsomething and Element to thank for that and for the fact that the first page is now filled with closed and useless threads.
So kindly go harass some other board.
