Look at the stuff you get in your threads, I create lots of threads no one cares about, it's a wonder any of us return.  He's been lurking and doing this for maybe 5 years with multiple accounts, looking for something he is.

You have that right, I wonder the same thing all the time, I have to admit I really enjoyed this place a lot more years ago before all the AK's and Pessimists, that is why I am SO glad to be done with my latest project and soon as I see what people think and I figure out how I am going to share these, I may retire from here to LOL.

I am though very interested in the Saga Set coming, and I do not buy into any of the 2 very annoying groups, which are the Ass Kissers(AK's) and the other side, the Pessimists, because to me both sides are so full of shit they are just flat out blind, NO ONE here has seen these Blu's in their own Homes, NO ONE, so if people want to make shit up and believe everything they read and see online, well that is just ludicrous, sure some of the info may start to lean one way or the other, but it still is not HARD FACTS, I honestly don't understand why we can't all talk about what we do know without all the crazy conspiracy theories.

I know that this will give me some flack from some now but that is OK, but that is how I feel, like double05 said above, "I will believe it when I see it".

 I find this ironic considering you've pre-ordered the set months ago. That's not really wait and see; You've endorsed the product in advance and are now upset that everyone is criticizing something you've endorsed. This philosophy is really "buy and see", and thats the whole trap people fell into in 2004. We will wait and see precisely what is different and the same to the 2004 master, but there is a pretty substantial body of evidence that gradually emerged that gives us fairly solid, evidence-based indications of many of the fundamental issues that people wondered about the release. You have to use your head, take it all in, concede that there are several variables still unknown, and make a judgement call. The most reasonable stance, as far as I am concerned, is that indeed the set has most of the problems from the 2004 master, is in fact basically a slightly tweaked version of that master and not a wholly new transfer, but has improved a few issues while also introducing a few new issues. I don't think this is an extremist Pessimistic-with-a-capital-P view, but a level-headed one. To ignore all the emerging evidence and merely proclaim "we will never know until we see the final product" is to ignore a lot of common sense and it's essentially the same argument that the "Ass-Kissers", as you designate them, have been advocating. We will wait and see, and we will hope for the best, but there is quite a lot of information out there that can guide our expectations and judgements in the meantime.
