This is certainly a fair enough comment -- the problem with his comment was that I (but maybe others) was not proposing or "airing" my favorite or any ATM proposal, simply discussion of the OP proposal -- the pros and cons, with the OP and those asking related questions.
I saw at least four different ATM discussions (the OP's and three others) occurring at different points in the thread in question. I had a question for the OP that I suspect he never saw because of all the other discussion, and I had trouble following what he was saying for the same reason.

In my opinion, an occasional side post isn't a big deal, but that thread was completely out of control.
