There is some exceptional and very valuable information in this topic. There is also a steady torrent of opinionated chitchat, some of which is enlightening, and some is just plain impractical. If you are thin skinned and easily irratated when it comes to politics, religion or heated topics, it is best to stay out of these BOC discussions. This is the BOC’s most moderated forum, when posts become a work out in repetition; they are abbreviated, stopped or removed.
