Some of these guys have been at each other for almost a decade. Nothing is
going to stop it. If it were all sweetness and light here the number of
posts would decline dramatically. Think about what most of these guys do.
They don't need practice, they need money. After all, why would guys spend
all day working with stuff to make a living and then give out free advice
here? Mother Teresa  didn't work in the security industry. Many come here
for the dust ups.
For the past few years I have been involved in a small segment of the market
where I end up knowing more and more about less and less. Reading the posts
here keeps me in touch with the rest of the main stream industry. If you
don't have the stomach to read the mud wrestling posts, I think you're out
of luck.
