Do driveway sealers really do anything?

One would assume that anonymous-pseudonymous-cowardly posters were the whacky ones, not the guy with actual figures and analysis and the character to back it up.

So! Do you actually have something to say regarding my point? Or, are you to be off on another campaign, this time about Usenet monikers?

Using a nickname in usenet is a long established tradition and has nothing to do with someone's veracity. Using that to try and gain traction when you are losing a debate is a very weak ploy that impresses no one. Using your real name just adds evidence that if not totally whacky, (there's plenty of evidence) you are at the least, very foolish.

Or top 1/2 your driveway and see how the up-topped side holds up compared to the topped side! Do it every couple years and report back in 10 years so we all know if we should keep topping or stop!

Usenet is vile *because* of anonymity. For example, it allows *you* to insult respectible people with impunity. This is the very essence of cowardice, to harm without facing the fair consequences.

To this thread I contributed my technical opinion, written clearly, with facts and analysis to back it up, based on decades of homeowning experience with a solid engineering background. Some people make a constructive debate out of such material. Your contribution: a traditional spewing of banal insults while hiding behind a traditional (although untraditionally faggy) pseudonym. What bizarre amusement.

I think this response from you says it all. Thanks for bolstering my case.

There you go - he should take an empirical approach, if he's to convince those of us who actually want to maintain our properties, not just wait until things break or go bad and replace things.
