Some things are worth repeating.
Unlike your endless threads claiming HTB is creating a bubble - that's just nonsense.“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.

Feeling the need to spam in order to overcome the arguments? Scraping around for stuff to back up your view and posting them twice now?

Had a few days off and the amount of repetitious wall to wall garbage, of this type, does turn you off."If you act like an illiterate man, your learning will never stop... Being uneducated, you have no fear of the future.".....
