So got a TL: DL for this link - I'm not inclined to listen to over 2 hours of inane chatter (which I'm sure others enjoy immensely - but I found I was 'zoning out after the first 3 minutes) to get to the 'assessment'.
Or is it just a "They thought it was a very early build too and were less than spellbound?"
Given how closely you've been on this thread nothing new. If anything its good to hear other people being honest as well. On the forums you get in trouble for it and have to defend yourself for the exact same ideas. They're a neat bunch though, theres one white knight, one skeptic, one realist, and this other guy. Excellent balance if that's how you set your eq.
