    Bring it On! Again? You've got to be kidding! Dramatic and sensational enthusiasm from the dull. The question, then, recurs... Who? and Why? For a historical perspective into the bottomless abyss, refer to the astounding mistakes from a pompas, blundering failure. Echos from a clangorous industry, deeply rooted in a ejaculatory, boom-bust series. Welcome to the everlasting mysteries of eventual failure. Doubt and trepidation.

      Authoritative critic, Quite to eloquent combination of words to describe your simple minded take on the inevitable future of this initiative. Care to share with us what your "crystal ball" says as to why this will not work? While you obviously have no qualms with dispersing your opinion I would relish the opportunity to actually hear an intelligent comment that answers then, the question that recurs "why" it WILL NOT work! Any thoughts? Are you just another pesimist who boast a foolhearty opinion with no real support?
