Well that's me, and many others. Speculation is what keeps things interesting. Now I agree the what if threads, especially when something is decided allready is a waste. Other peoples opinions or speculation is intresting. I like knowing what other peoples opinions are.

An opinion is perfectly fine with me, and I'll give one when I feel strong enough about it....I tend to go alittle opposite on the opinion part even, if I have some positive knowledge of the subject, I'll give an opinion....I tend to go with knowledge over all else....and without it there is ignorance....
NOW...if others want to speculate, cool......go for it baby. But the 2 are not the same....but do I enjoy reading others speculation and opinions...sure....makes the boards entertaining....but I just don't like to speculate on much....as I said...just me.
