Huh? I certainly meant no offense, but when a guy like W3LPL speaks 
about RF issues, I tend to listen. There are lots of guys around with 
decades of experience, and most of us try to learn from each other. I've 
had my head handed to me on a plate several times when I was mistaken 
about something, and I learned from being corrected, and/or being 
presented with new facts about a product or vendor.

Further, science is hardly a matter of "opinion," but rather a study of 
how things work. With components and equipment, it's often a matter of 
knowing which mfrs make the better stuff, which are more careful about 
quality control, and which are peddling cheaper crap. I learned that 
working for Motorola in my first job out of college. I cited my 
experience with RF Connection, and with other junk connectors -- that's 
not "opinion," its some facts. :)
