Truth is THIS statement I totally agree with. And that is the problem here in a nutshell. I normally never jump into the stihl threads to put my 2 cents in. Nobody wants to hear what I have to say about a stihl. And I won't lay on any of that fake, lame "praise" for the other brand like "gee they sure did a great job on the thumb screw for the air filter cover" like a lot of guys do when they are trying to show some type of chainsaw "diversity". That crap is so transparent.
These new saw releases are much anticipated by fans of either brand, and they should be enjoyed. Look how long we've been waiting for these things. As I said, I'd never jump to try and spoil the fun. Not cause I don't have any interest in stihl, but lotta friends run stihl, so why create bad vibes with buddies over saw brands.
But that 572 thread has gotten so polluted by stihl guys running their mouths that I've blown a fuse and I'm on the freaking warpath right now and I really don't care who I piss off at this point. So, if this is the way we're all going to conduct ourselves, then OK, I'm in.
