OrangeP47 Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 To be fair there's only been three, but the only one so far I actually have a strong opinion on. That's not because the other two were more obscure, but because they did things I both did and didn't like, whereas Adams here is pretty much all positive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
