"I don't mean to knock Harmonys" - "Harmonys are crap....plain and simple"

These two statements in your same post. Incredible.

"Why these threads get so out of hand are the severe reactions by both sides, CI and diy'er"

These threads get out of hand because of posts such as yours. "Joe Six-Pack" - "Uneducated" Hmmm, and then, "But that's my opinion, and it isn't wrong. Just different than some" Just your opinion, huh?

"Don't be made to feel like a fool, because you made the right choice for you. But don't make yourself a fool by trying to pass off to others, and there by convincing yourself what you bought is the greatest thing going." Most Harmony owners here are annoyed by statements such as yours. A reaction is warranted, though likely a waste of time.

Harmony users have tried, to no avail, to explain why they like their remotes and have met with general hostility from a rather surly few. How about the Harmony haters tell all the "uneducated toddlers" what they want from a remote that a Harmony One won't do and please, no reference to custom icons.
