Definitely not taking sides here, but I do sorta get where vbangle is coming from (in post 703, not 706). A lot of people got really excited the last time around, and felt pretty let down when -1 decided to leave and keep his toys to himself. "Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me."
That being said, I suppose it's possible that -1 has had a change of heart and intends to be cool about things this time around. Time will tell.
I wasn't going to post in this thread, but I felt like although vbangle is being characteristically rude, he does have a point.
