    I like to put it this way.

    Television is like binoculars and the internet is like a microscope.

    Watch TV and you’ll see all sorts of things from a distance, and kind of get an idea of how they interconnect. A good general idea of what’s going on.

    Use the internet and you’ll end up spending six months arguing over which version of Batman had the most effective utility belt.

        Best utility belt, best Batman, best Catwoman, second best Catwoman, second best Joker…1966 Batman was awesome.

          I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as “utility belt”, is in fact, a Bat-Belt, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, a Bat plus Belt. A utility belt is not a Bat-Gadget unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning Bat system made useful by the Bat-Sharkspray, Batarangs and vital components comprising a full Bat-Equipment as defined by Batman.

        First, you’ve proven my point about how the interwebs can lead us into stupid, inane, meaningless arguments that prove nothing.

        Second, comic book Batman always carries krytonite in case Supes goes rogue, and that beats some surfing gear any day of the week.

    Sometimes I start writing a reply and then realize I don’t really care.

    Ask an average amateur radio group/forum what the best radio under $50 is. In equal numbers, you will be flooded with suggestions by people who believe their own handheld within (or slightly above) that price point beats every other option, and other people who insist that any radio that inexpensive is “cheap Chinese garbage” and you have to spend upwards of $200 to get a decent starter radio.
