well I think revealing an opinion that I dislike something is perfectly valid, and I don't think I need to offer any countersuggestions.
For example, this thread is about this call out response thing... I said, "hey, are you on NS?" which IS an alternative to the callout, and then I expressed my view that I think it's silly to have a callout by saying that I would ski away from someone who does it to me, which might be construed by some, like myself, as funny, and also a worthwhile post.
So I don't really see a problem.
