Alright. So my biggest problem with some of this doomsday posting is that besides how much it overtakes the place, it seems to discount who we are.

We are already collectively the most knowledgeable people we probably know as a group.

ST know best as the saying goes.

We aren’t low information folks. And beyond that, this is our house!
