Welt, you must be real pleased with yourself on that snappy comeback. SERIOUSLY, maybe this is a good time to ask somebody that clearly likes to post disparaging things about people/events: Why the disparaging stuff? Why not, instead, go on to list all the terrific things those guys have done in running? Is there something about finding fault in others, putting them down that makes you feel better...maybe better than them? Does praising others come hard to you?
With your list, you've proven you know your stuff which leads me to believe you can do better.
