Zazen -
You have some sort of persecution complex? Nobody is saying you are Satan or anything. The simple fact of the matter is that someone who cherrypicks exclusively will never get the same sort of 'respect' that someone who can kill equally well from an initial disadvantage will.
Granted, neither will get much respect in AH nowadays, when those who can drop the most buildings with the fewest bombs are objects of adoration to the masses.
Hmmm ya, I was going more for an obscene caricature of some of the sentiments expressed here, in a backhanded way, to demonstrate how rediculously absurd they are...
As I said before, show me someone who "ONLY" cherrypicks and I will show you someone with 1 kill an hour or less. Believe me, I've tried to kill 8+/Hr only cherrypicking, it just isn't possible. Keep in mind however, that I do not ever vulch, so someone who cherrypicks "AND" vulches religiously may be able to approach a more respectable kill rate than I. Pacerr is one example of that category that immediately comes to mind, but there's many, probably half of the Top 100 Fighter Pilots each tour on average. Every now and then each hop I find myself oblidged to actually fight, it pains me to do so to the core of my being, but if I didn't I'd have to resign myself to 1 kill an hour via cherrypicking alone, which would not be terribly entertaining.
