I imagine the deployment of the steam press is seen as by some as the same sort of Dark Time as when they put lights on Wrigley Field or...
I agree with the AU53 grade on the 1827 for the same reason. I imagine that the associate membership has you sitting in the rusty metal folding...
Good to hear. Of course, he'll just stick someone else with it, but at least it's not you, and your learning experience didn't cost you any...

First thing I noticed.
Yeah, they tend to be mostly emotionally charged train wrecks, so I avoid them.
