Rice isn't eaten much around here either. That IS NOT the point tho. The point is that having two ports is not the default. As I said before, if what you claim were even remotely true, then board sellers would be listing boards with two ports by huge numbers. They are not. It is rare even. Well under 10%, likely less than 5%. That is FAR from being a default. Anyone claiming otherwise is delusional. Given your other posts, I've come to the conclusion that you are truly living in a world that is not based on reality. You live is some bubble that you have created where what you think is the only option. You, even when shown facts, can not accept anything that doesn't fit in your little bubble. You posted that two ports is the default. Others and myself posted that is not correct. I even went to the trouble to prove it. Yet here you are still posting that it is when you have yet to post a SINGLE fact to back up what you claim. I posted how I researched it and did so in a way that you should be able to do the same, and see it for YOURSELF. Yet you refuse to even do that. You are right even when you are proven to be 100% wrong in your little bubble. Unless you can prove that having two ports is the default, by posting links to a major manufacturers website or a major seller, you are talking BS and nothing else. There is no point to you posting anything else. Post proof or you are wrong. Get over it. Back up your claims. It shouldn't be hard if you are correct. It took me about 5 to 10 minutes to do my research and about the same to post it. Have a nice day. Enjoy your little bubble. Dale :-) :-)
