I'm a bit torn between feeling like these criticisms of what cbelt3 said are too harsh and feeling that they are justified.
I've held my tongue until now for reasons similar to what you have stated, and if it had just have been a couple of personal anecdotes over a period of time then my comment would be inappropriate. However, when a poster uses anecdotes to attempt to bolster his/her arguments almost every time a debate comes up (and especially when every anecdotal experience seems to exactly fit the topic), then it is time to call foul. Swampy got called (not by me) on this tactic a couple of months ago. Now it's cbelt3's turn.
davester, I see you're going to bat for truth and justice here, but I must object to your claim that cbelt's anecdotal experience fits the topic. If we're going to pass judgement, let's do so fairly please.
