What I kinda don't get (and I am NOT trying to be a dick) is a bunch of people sharing information (positive or negative) about somebody or something, and having one guy say "I've never had that issue".
When that guy says "I've never had that issue", does that one voice change anybody's mind? I would say "no". Think of a guy posting that he's developed a miss, and another guy posts that he's never had a miss; wouldn't your reaction to the second post be something like "Good for you, but that's not going to help me identify and eliminate my miss".
Now, if that one voice offered something constructive, like "I a miss problem too, and then you guys told me about Joe Putzi at XYZ Engineering, and he worked with me to solve the problem".
I didn't want to make anybody mad, or insult Hawk, and I'm done with the topic now.

Somebody has to be first. Whether it's only a single post in a thread or its the first of multiple posts by multiple people, all stating the same thing, their importance is equal. Having one guy say 'I've never had that issue' is exactly the same as the first guy that said 'I always have an issue with Sunoco' as far as relevance is concerned.
