It is my opinion that there are different types of longs, some who never care to question management decisions or address potential negative issues with the pipeline, and those who engage in such activity very aggressively! Different strokes for different folks.

I don't get bothered by the various types of posters, including flippers, because if I suspect a person is posting repetitively about a topic that doesn't concern me...I just skim or ignore his post. I don't understand why another person's posts should get under anyone's skin? If they do it is due to intolerance and narrow thinking.

Obvious bashers should be banned. But other than that extreme....I think diversity of DD approaches is healthy. We shouldn't all have to agree about every issue. If we did our message board would become nothing more than a cluster suck.
