exactly John. I completely agree that any site you read you just need to have a filter to realize what is being said and what the point is being put across. The cinder thing (and I've had it happen too...just part of riding steam) doesn't sound like it was meant to be negative...more of just a warning to folks. If you don't want cinders, stay inside the cars and/or wear glasses with side shields. I just rode the D&S and did just that and ZERO cinders in my eyes.
Chris you post some good points, but what you also fail to mention are the negative posts could come from someone who has a grudge against the RR. You can't simply put a bias on the positive posts without placing the same bias on the negative posts.
