Hahahaha clear as mud now.  Seems all the same guys are on both anyways
I've learned so much on both. I'll be doing the full membership this weekend. I think I owe more than the dues in free advice by now. It's the least I can do to give back a little bit
Wait. A sec...which one am I on now ;)

ZGGTR..

I sense a disturbance brewing in this thread so lets mellow a bit and have a few bloody mary's or vodka (no flavors - shaken, not stirred) martinis.  It works for me.

Long story short, it seems to have been a disagreement about intellectual property rights, a messy divorce and everbody involved wanting to take their ball and go home. Happened a couple of years ago and has moved into the realm of myth and legend. And a bit of a running joke now.

I think that you have got the gist of it correct except for the last sentence.  I still have not been able to find any humor in it at all, even after some years have passed.  But enough digression on that subject.  Both of the forums have different tones or a life of their own based on the membership.  I like the tone of this one.  Always have.  The other one is ok but I prefer this one.  To me it's more like family and when I have long time family members going at it, it affect me personally.  It shouldn't do that but it does.  We all have our personalities, can't change that, and you know what I say....characters welcome here.

Are we clear on that?  I hope so.  Continue on...

As for opinion, mine is that a gen one stock screen fully lowered is as much air as I care to have.
I might go so far as to black one out from the inside, as some have done, just for looks.  8)

Cool looking screen, but more than happy with my MRA Vario smoked screen.  Performs likely very similar to this one , looks awesome and is less than half the price.

somebody needs a hobby...  ::)

You mean besides motorcycles?  Language is one of them.  As well as firearms, playing the flute, computers (which is also work), cats, casual gaming, and a few other things.

I would have tons of time if I could be pried away from the TV....  I am a sucker for documentaries, science shows, history, scifi, and fantasy.

I often prefer to answer rhetorical figurative with informative literal.

To move this back on topic, I am now willing to sacrifice for the good of the group and try this sport screen. I have given this much thought and spoken the wife and she is in agreement. She understands that she will be a human guinea pig and has accepted this reality.

Great!!!  I can't wait to see your review and how you like it.  Lots of questions pending... the thing looks really great but it is a big investment.
