It is boring, if you don't like the brand don't buy it, Others do like the brand and they pay what they are happy to pay. If you like others brands, that is great good for you
Nail. Head. Hit!
I'm sure we all have brands which we like more than the general consensus or dislike. I don't like Kookaburra bats, have no reason to dislike them but always have. Also don't like CA because my friend had one once which picked up like a railway sleeper.
FastEddie you clearly dislike Salix for reasons listed in other threads.
Soulman you are an apprentice/employee of Salix so are a strong advocate of the brand so have obvious reasons to be a supporter of Salix.
Lets accept this as the status quo that isn't going change. If one of you see's a post from the other, you don't need to reply. You could type it in wingdings and we all know what you would have typed.
This could have been an amusing thread about the forum users infants and cricket gear. Rather than another FE vs SM Salix thread.
