It's VERY cool to see his results, which can be duplicated GIVEN THE RIGHT CONDITIONS, and time and patience.

What's NOT COOL sometimes is the attitude of people like him who (like reformed drunks or people who've kicked a drug habit) to foam at the mouth about how their method is THE ONLY TRUE WAY and everybody else is a dumbass, etc etc etc.

I haven't read enough of CNC's posts to know if he's too evangelical with his beliefs, but 257 is a relatively levelheaded guy who makes a living dealing in the things he's speaking of, it's not a HOBBY, or a PASTTIME, or a sometimes activity for him. IT'S HIS LIFE, basically. When he speaks of things in that vein, his opinions are based in fact, and on long hard bought experience. I think when he gets flippant, holier than thou responses from CNC (I'm guessing here, I'm not 257's psychiatrist) he doesn't respond well to them.

I understand that too. Keyboard Cowboys are only slightly more common than Keyboard Evangelists, and they are both aggravating in their own way.
