ewl, You're one of the most valuable posters IMO. Those that exclusively talk up and exagerate the positives are doing PEN a great disservice. They under-estimate the intelligence of others, and those others will see through their overly positive ramping posts and be turned away. Someone like yourself who can see that the cup is both half full and half empty at the same time brings a lot more credibility to the room than those who pretend the empty half doesn't exist. Honesty is the foundation for credibility and trust. Duping others is a short term game. Long term, PEN will be served best by a core group of knowledgeable, honest, and balanced posters.
