It is one think to say "I believe something to be true", and completely different to say "Something IS true". You obviously do not differentiate between the two approaches. Therein lies the problem with your posts. It's not about what you say, it's how you say it.
Uh huh. Well thanks for that tidbit, but I think my words were pretty clear.

1. Folks who say LCD "damages" their eyes are incorrect. I do not assume that anyone here has said that but it is a popular belief these days.
2. I actually think eink technology is great. It just doesn't fit my requirement.
3. LCD causing more eye strain than another technology is purely on a person-by-person basis and more related to age and/or an issue with a user's eyes. To make you happy, I'll retract my statement about it being a myth, as eye strain exists, but LCD technology itself is not the cause. This very thread has provided responses from users that say eink causes eye strain for them, or LCD for another group of users.
4. Previous statements about eink readers and what the majority of readers desire in their device stands firm. There is no proof that even half the people that read a lot or use eink would always choose an eink device.

We can go over this again and again, and as you say this is a dead horse. The funny thing is, you don't like how I say it, but its ok for the guy above to tell everyone that LCD is bad for their eyes... Go figure. You know what though, I don't think you should be telling me how I should say anything and keep the personal opinions about me out of it.
