I agree with you that many people don't check whether their latest idea has been tried before. But there are also plenty of examples where an existing failed idea suddenly works because its time has come. Wheels on luggage is a fantastic example.

BTW I don't hate you. I'm trying to help you understand how your online persona makes others feel. It's really hard not to take it personally when someone is so relentlessly negative. How many times have you thought to yourself that people need to "lighten up" after they took one of your comments personally? Is the ODH persona a positive contribution?

To be totally honest I had no recollection of what comment you may or may not have made about grade 21 climbers and I am quite happy to be called a low 20s punter - it's what I am. If you have any actual examples where I have stated something incorrect or given poor advice, then please enlighten me. If you are in the habit of making judgements on people without actually considering any evidence, then I would certainly not trust your judgements.

Perhaps you could start a replacement climbing forum where advice can only be given by people who climb 26 or above??
