I take strong exception to this, as i play the button box at a level of proficiency -- an extremely low one, in fact

Seriously, not a lot of box players hang out here -- maybe post an announcement on the two Yahoo Irish box lists and see what happens... though one of the lists started because people got tired of the slagging on the other one, so be careful what you wish for.

So, who wants to kick things off with the obligatory "B/C players suck" thread?
