What is your deal with all the 'what's the best'/ 'what's the worst' questions?
One with a little common sense would understand that there is no 'best', once there are choices established.
What's the best car? What's the best food? What's the best shoe...?
WTF?! There is no prize for starting the most threads.
Some of us, myself included, like these kinds of "what is the best" and "what is the worst" questions. Of course they call for subjective responses, but so does much of human interaction. I like them because I enjoy reading about people's experiences with different cues, shafts, cases, whatever. I realize that the responses are based on those people's individual preferences, but they are still informative to me. That's why I read them and the many comments people post in reply to them.
If I didn't like them, I wouldn't be here. I'd be reading some other thread with content I preferred.
