My thoughts will only inflame the Black Team, just as many of theirs only inflame the Blue Team. As such, I don't see any value in revisiting the topic. Most of us are fairly well dug in on pay banding, the SLI, etc.

I'll not opine further. However, when someone posts easily refutable BS, we should all reserve the right to blow the BS whistle. It's just a forum after all and healthy debate is good. Especially for the FNG's who have to listen to both sides while droning across the sky.
