did anybody ever have any doubts that Blake-Whatshisname would cash in first chance he got? Really?

something in the juxtaposition of "ice cream sandwich" and "leak" sounds sticky to me...

well, I never gave them my number, so I am not worried, then. Thanks for clarifying, though, it always helps to have people basically agree with you, even though that would also be a discerning feature of mass paranoia;-)

Also, because I gave them their money, I owe them my allegiance? You have a strange attitude as a consumer. The concessions they make are designed to gain advantage in the market place, not because they merit the love or the loyalty of their customers.

I am always using an inliner in my sleeping bags, so it might not be that much of a problem for me when I use the sleeping bags as a cover (mine is rated until -25°C and tried comfortably until -10°C, so most of the time I use it, it is open, which is warm enough already;-) ), plastic on plastic might be something…

please do share if you can get any first-hand info about the Peak Elite.

I have tried a few others, but none were any good. Artiach delaminated after a week, Jack Wolfskin (albeit 10 years ago) were a bit more durable, but after replacing the 3rd or 4th in a couple of months I asked the shop if I could upgrade to therm-a-rest.

Just a different company, probably. Therm-a-rest still has the market pretty much to themselves in the self-inflating foam mattress part, so they can ask a premium. Sad to say that none of the other companies I have tested so far, comes even close in reliability and durability, and that is a sad thing. I don't know…

I actually have three mattresses, and if that is a warranty they are making, then they should stand by this warranty. I am not "trashing" the company as you quite liberally put it, I am merely saying that they try to imply that I was exposing the mattresses to direct sunlight and/or inflating them too hard, while they…

oK, now I am not so sure any more. I don't think facebook is pulling any of my contacts from my phone. The numbers that appear in my contacts list are the numbers, those contacts have willfully shared on facebook. Most of the contacts I have on my Contacts list in facebook I didn't even know I had their numbers of,…

as for the photos, behind your name it always says "(Remove)" click that, and you're gone.

well, I thought, what the heck, the fb app is crap anyway, so, why not delete it. Turns out, that on my Xperia X10 mini it's a pre-installed app and can't be deleted. One more reason to take the jump and root, soon enough.

from what I have read on globetrotter.de reviews of the NeoAir, it has still quite bit of durability problems. It's hard to say what sort of a percentage of buyers have these problems (seams opening, leaks), but from my experience with their ultra-light mattresses (I sleep on them almost every day) they have…

Of course, I will humbly bow my head and make an effort not to cry.

eeehm, last time I checked, "decades" didn't mean "thousands of years"...

"I'm just not sure you'd want to." - that depends very much on how much noise it makes. If it makes noise at the level of a chainsaw at full throttle, I might actually like it and hook it up to a foghorn contraption and have those f...ing car drivers pee in their pants when they don't get out of my way.

and it doesn't increase dick size either:-S

meaning what exactly? That by measuring the ratio of C12/C13 over the last two years, decades of CO2 change have been explained and the true culprit is bovine flatulence?

and taking cheap jabs at Adams' age instead of forming the aforementioned cohesive argument. That is very political, if you can't argue with a position, try to discredit the author. I think, some people are just pissed off because other people call boredom, laziness and fear (I currently forget the 4th one) the motors…

"Energy bill be damned" - unfortunately, contrary to rumours, electricity does not come just out of the socket, so you're also damning CO2 increase and other climate-affecting activities, creating a negative feedback loop. The world has gotten a lot more complicated....
