You know.......you're absolutely right: Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and no one is forcing anyone to buy anything. You either like things or you don't. And no one particular group is correct over another, especially when it comes to hinge lines and whether you use tape or not. If someone prefers to spend that much time on a cheap ***** foamy, then that's their business and personally doesn't effect me in the least.

Thinking outside the box and trying new things is the way that technology progresses and I am all for progress. However, some ideas are just better than others. What one person deems the best thing that's come along, another may think it's the most rediculous idea ever imagined! That's what makes the world such a diverse and interesting place. It's not a matter of who is correct or incorrect - it's a matter of personal opinion.

If you have great sucess and satisfaction from a particular method or design, then by all means, go for it. Rave about it and tell all your friends that it's the only way to go. By the same token, if you think it stinks and is a waste of time, shout it from the mountain top. Either way, it is just "your" opinion and people can take it for what it's worth.
