Foodie, One of the problems I find with the ebob board is that too many of the responders seem to believe they're better than those of us "unwashed masses." They also tend to develop a serious case of tunnel vision that inhibits their ability to rationally judge another's views. Rather than contribute constructively, they seem to just want to find ways to let you know that your viewpoint is incorrect (sound like anyone here?). Because of that I tend to contribute only on those topics of interest to me that are basically innocuous and don't seem to be leaning toward controversy. As to why RP is now conspicuously absent from the topic he started, it's probable that he senses he's started something he wishes were best left alone. I know I can see your frustration coming out occasionally when someone responds to one of your posts in a direction that's 180 degrees from where you were going. That entire topic seems to have split up into smaller topics going in all different directions. Unusual group.

Did you notice, too, that one topic about 2001 or 2003 Pavie? Talk about conspicuous consumption. The guy has never had Pavie, but he wants someone to advise him on whether he should buy the 2001 at $170 or the 2003 (when it's released) at $140. I just don't get the allure of actually wanting to pay that much for that wine when there are so many other really great wines to be had for half the price or less. Besides, I'm not a huge fan of Bordeaux anyway.
