Question on the venerable 4x8 on why there are so many in the hobby (in all scales) against it.
Are you sure there are "so many" - I wasn't aware that there were such.
Maybe it's just a small number of vocal folks on the internet and mags? Maybe not really representative of the majority and of reality? Maybe it's not worth the electrons being expended on this worry or concern.
Why does anyone really care - do what you want and have fun. Why do folks worry so much about what others claim to be "right"? Think for yourself and question authority!
