While Archies,humour,and critique,may not be everybodies taste.I like it.
I personally welcome anyone who is willing to say what they mean.I would lose interest ,if a forum became a mutual back slapping event,where everyone simply logs on and says at worst neutral comments on every post.
In my limited knowledge,just by browsing other forums it is clear to me that Archie knows his stuff,and i would be foolish if i attempted to portray him any differently.
My 2 cents.
