AND...

I think some people just enjoy proving others' points for them. Not to worry, I'm sure this'll soon be unreccommended.

5. Are you saying I said that?

Cuz I sure didn't. I was just curious what sorts of posts would be unrecced.

It seems people don't even want the feature DISCUSSED. Even positive threads about it are squelched, though the majority of Unrec threads are against it.

9. OK I will recommend it

And someone will see it and unrecommend ...so what does that mean.
so if someone does a good job and you reward him for it, why should someone else be able to come and take that reward away?
