Because I care about the quality of the advice that I give. If I respond to a thread that asks a substantive question, as opposed to a ridiculous diatribe by the poster child for ignorance (that does not refer to you, MikeS), I actually want to do the best that I can. I want to explain my reasoning and try to determine the best answer, which may be a synthesis of the various posts. I will not make unsupported statements when it comes to substantive questions.
BTW, since I never chimed in on the original subject, I firmly believe that the BP& W with GUE recommended reg configuration (5 or 7 foot hose, depending upon application) is the most appropriate rig.
It is both cool and functional.
As for why I responded in the manner that I did.
1. I stated that I had considered the source of the original statement.
2. I supported my claim that the original statement was posted by an ignorant clod with facts taken from other posts.
3. I argued my case using language that I determined to be appropriate to the situation. In other words, I responded in kind.
