Chris,

With all due respect, this is the forum for discussion. If you don't want to read or think about it, perhaps you should not click on the issue. Also, where does the "ideal weight" label come it. I still hold that the original weight was 1000 lbs. I think Mike's proposal of 980 lbs. is very reasonable.

This issue will not go away and airing of it is, IMHO, very helpful and productive. If those of us that favor the change just fold up our tents those who may either not understand the issue or be on the fence will not have the opportunity to hear the arguments in favor and against.

That said, you are certainly entitled to your opinion as long as our prerogative to use our voices on this forum is not thwarted.

Best regards to all
