I think RRC should endorse this product: Image

I don't get you Redpoint. You post suggestions all the time but somebody else does it and now were all "haters." What - do you think you're better than everybody else or something?

This person should be very egotistical and able to motivate people to respond to posts regardless of personal pride or ethics. For this position climbing talent shouldn't matter as much as - mouth talent. What we are looking for is a high-energy hyperactive person who can chatter endlessly - because bolts can go bad at any time of day or night. We need a look-at-me-everybody personality who has no pride and can undermine the most well meaning in appearance information and suggestion with an egotistical undercurrent based on: hey everybody-look-at-me-do-what-everybody-already-has-done-lots-of-times-before. Because this would be an unpaid and full-time position - a person with no formal education, motivation, or real job (preferably around 30 years old and living with their parents) would be highly desired. This person would be exempt from participating on any tangible or otherwise meaningful projects that actually do help the climbing community such as trail days. What we are talking about here is a real me, me, me all mouth and no work type of person and these are few and far between. Could there even be such a person out there?
I do not really understand why but - somebody - thinks I aimed this post directly at them whick I didn't. In order to clarify this I am editing the post:

I removed all things that this person could think relate directly to them and hence resubmit my suggestion.
