My take on Grant's statement has always been that they aren't _widely_ repairable, in the way that steel is. And I do think that all salient points have been made on this topic. March can be the brutal month on all the lists, a point I have made before. Many people are inside waiting for the thaw, and for some reason, the tone on most online lists seems to decay and devolve to a really nasty level. It's one of the reasons (early on) that I mentioned simply shutting down the list in mid-March for a couple weeks. This topic really shouldn't have a polarizing effect, especially here. So, lets put down the darts and move over to the shuffleboard table...
