I believe you. Even though I used your initial post to this thread as an inspiration for my first reply, I did not mean to criticise you directly. Your post was quite measured and reasonable, except for one thing: you complained about the elitist attitude of some
2001 fans, but never noticed that in this thread no such opinions were expressed. On the contrary, several of the replies to this thread (not yours) were rather crudely scornful of
2001 ("It's lame!" -- can you think of a lamer criticism?)
I just found it, well... shortsighted... to complain about the snobbery of
2001 fans in a thread where such snobbery was nowhere to be seen, while there were actually several examples of gratuitous
2001 egging, which is at least just as obnoxious.
Or, as Van Rijn explained more concisely, above:
