I stepped back from this thread because we seemed to be in a bit of a feedback loop there, so I apologise if I came across the wrong way. I had seen this as a lack of information and or understanding and had approached it that way which obviously didn't work out for any of us.
I'd just like to point this out, I'm not sure how many of you out there use Reddit (it says there are 47 readers but not everyone will be registered) but I personally think everyone should see this post.
Not the initial one, but read through and see John's response regarding the carbon fiber nightmare. It helps put things in perspective a little.
