Luddydude is a passionate man...as we all are...about certain things. What you perceive as icky behavior is actually just him making a point and restating the point again. He believes this entire question is flawed and was trying to derail the progress before someone did something bad to a perfectly good cymbal. This is on the same lines as stopping someone from drilling their sixty year old snare shell because they wanted to put a cooler throw on it. Again, that's all this was. Passion to help. You were asking a question about our experiences and he was saying don't ask 'cause it's a deadend. Some don't believe it to be and that's where we got tangled. He's passionate, I'm too beautiful, Kevins has a jones for Quisp cereal, and you've got that Eydie Gorme record collection thing you try to hide. As odd as we are, we still love our drums and love to share. That's what it's all about here.
Sorry if I come off a little stong on this subject SuperB, but like Michael said above.....
