Very well stated, Dave, and I agree wholeheartedly. We've been pretty good overall at avoiding brand wars and hopefully we can avoid them in the future.
This kind of thing is very easy to get started since we all have our own preferences and, especially, our own bad experiences with one brand or another. Hopefully when any of us sees that starting one of us can just post something like "let's be careful" and maybe that will wake the rest of us up. Just a thought.
I, for one, am going to try to avoid saying things like "you bought the best truck" and will instead try to say things like "I like your choice in trucks" or "you bought a great truck", etc. If I don't like your choice I'll just avoid saying anything at all about it. If I violate my own rule, someone jump in and post or email me that I'm breaking my own rule.
