Why do DSers persist in posting on other message boards? Why the Surgery Wars?
In case you were wondering why we DSers "pay it forward," check out these threads:

The second thread was started in 2007, and is still being added to.
By the way, if you look closely at the threads that devolve into Surgery War, you will see that the vast majority of the time, a DSer will post FACTUAL information (supported by peer-reviewed references) demonstating the superiority of the DS for most people, and someone with another surgery will get their knickers in a twist because they take that FACTUAL information to be a personal insult, and we're off and running. But that doesn't matter to me, because these threads always get information about the DS to the attention of someone who needs to hear it.
If you are pre-op, I hope you will take a look at these threads and then do further research into the DS before you make your surgery choice.
