Hi Vinny, I respectfully disagree with you. There are several very qualified moderators that are watching closely to ensure that this list functions as intended. I'm confident that if a need to change the format arises, an effective change will be made. Meanwhile, the request is simple: The majority of personal opinions (rants) should be reserved for personal blogs. With this discretion, the purity and quality of useful interchange will be preserved.
