I've been doing the same thing, cleaning out my hard drive. It's amazing how much unused junk can accumulate in there. I'm presently down to 39 GB, a little over a third of which is Sims-related. As for additional memory, I doubled the RAM on all three of my machines last year; it did nothing for my laptop and not much for my main system, but it did my old computer a world of good.

People Who Don't Understand They Have Lesser Opinions:
Everyone is allowed to have an opinion, understand that I agree completely with that. However, not everyone's opinion is equal; some are more valid and, thus, worth more than others. Not all opinions are equal in their validity.

Agreed. There are a lot of opinions and ideas out there that are, at best, worthless. However, what does one use as the criteria when making such a judgement? Logic and reason seem to me to be the best options here. Unfortunately, too many people are willing to twist these beyond recognition and distort or even manufacture evidence in support of whatever position they've decided is pleasing to them. It can get pretty ridiculous. :P

My Co-Workers and Customers:
I have a hard time putting up with my co-workers and the people who shop at my store. The majority of them seem to be genuinely unable to use any form of logic in doing anything, and, that being the case, I have a hard time bringing myself to help them and do so only because it's required by my job.

You have my sympathy, and I don't even work retail. The customer is always right? Oh, please. When I shop I try to go in, find what I want, pay for it, and get out without giving the workers a hard time. Granted, it's their job to help me out, and I don't have a problem asking for assistance when needed, but unlike some people I express my appreciation afterwards. It's only right. If I can leave them with a smile when I'm done, so much the better. :)

That's pretty much how I feel on the matter. Personally, I believe that fans should have NO say on how a series progresses or how it works, as they can only make things worse. The fans are free to have opinions, but in no way should the creators or writers of a series feel indebted to their fans.

While it's unlikely, it is not impossible for a fan to come up with a brilliant idea for a segment or story that would work for a given show. It certainly hasn't happened with Foster's, but it is not impossible. Otherwise I guess I pretty much agree with you here.
