Apology accepted. Thank you.

Not that I owe anybody an explanation, but I'll go ahead and say that prior to making that fateful original post, I had read through a lot of content to try and understand what it is exactly that sets Eagle apart from other, non-Eagle stuff, but as anyone who read any news/first impressions/review-type article in any online trade outlet ever knows, you know how these things tend to be written - and none of them would give you nuggets of the "Eagle is anything 12-speed" kind. So, when I found myself spending too much time clicking through Google search results, I thought - obviously wrongly - that I might turn to the forum for some distilled clarification. Instead - and, given past experiences on this forum, not surprisingly - I got the kind of vermin that almost makes me swear off the sport/hobby for good.
