Didn't say I did, just wondered if there were any proponents of the stock system. Should I PM you first to clear my questions before I ask them?

Im on the fence and not ready to start gutting parts till I see the majority of IPB failures showing a trend. Right now I see more questions being raised by the ' fix' and will read and consider all areas of the problem/ solution. OP What are your thoughts or are you like me with this?
