(Steve sighs as he realizes he will invariably catch heat over his use of labels in this paragraph....)In this thread, you and Hawkeye have been invaluable in bridging that gap.  Your continued focus on the merits and meat of the different playstyles rather than the discussion of the discussion allowed the dialog to continue to a point where we started seeing peeps contributing on both sides.  Also your even handedness encouraged the rest of us to limit our rancor and rhetoric....at least most of the time (somewhat guilty smile).  You also fine tuned our arguments to be more clear.But I don't know if that can ever be recreated lol so I am riding this horse to the finish line lol <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
