I've noticed a trend becoming more evident over the past few months for a few of the (newer experts) to pontificate at length about their newly discovered skills.
Some of the statements made border on outrageous, if corrected they simply dig their heels in and back their claims up with even more long winded mumbo jumbo.
All well and good you might say, everyone is entitled to an opinion, however Coffee Snobs is inhabited by many newcomers desperate for advice, reading through some of the threads mentioned would leave these people hopelessly confused.
Another trend I've noticed is for more and more of our experienced members to take a back seat, simply because responding to these epic posts achieves nothing other than another long winded post in an attempt to prove the validity of the gospel they are preaching.
Some of these long winded frustrated writers would do well to remember that, the KISS principle most certainly applies to espresso coffee, and as far as words are concerned, sometimes less is more.
PS Just noticed the number of this post 2,666, the devil made me do it.
