I resent the assertion that sarcastic posts are totally useless and that they add nothing to the discussion.
If the shoe fits.

You missed the point! It was already answered in this very thread.
No it wasn't. One of the advantages of titanium is weight. One of the reasons they use it in the construction of jet fighters. While I agree with Tobin that the world does not need a stronger backplate, the world does need a a lighter and more compact backplate. As a mentioned in a past post titanium is about $30 a pound, which given the amount of material needed is not all that prohibitive. Especially, if it allows you to dodge an airline overweight penalty.
Many of those users are gone. If you find a problematic post, please report it so we can deal with it.
Some are alive and kickin' in this thread.
Sure it does. Conversations are two way. If you're unwilling to read and understand the discussion, then you end up derailing the thread.
People will ridicule you regardless if you pay attention or not. As to derailing a thread, well this thread is about plastic buckles and now we are are talking about titanium backplates.
As far as Scuba forums go, this one is one of the nicer ones. I think it's more an industry problem.
Actually, I think they are nicer in the cave diver forum. I am not sure which other forums are still active. The Deco Stop and Dive Matrix seem pretty dead.
