lol, most general pinball topics have been discussed more than once at this point.

But, nobody says it can't be discussed some more--carry on with the 3 v 5 ball debate

Nah, no need. If folks want to discuss, then they can discuss away. If nobody wants to discuss, then the thread will sink down the page pretty quickly. Such is the nature of discussion forums.

So, carry on.
