A little harsh don't you think? The OP related their experience with their brooks saddles. They didn't bash them, or suggest that others would necessarily have the same problems that they did. You call the OP a nameless troll, but they have a couple years of posting history and if you look you will see that it generally all reasonable discussion. Also most of the folks on both sides of this discussion are "nameless" including many of the most respected members of this forum.
Brooks saddles are just saddles not some perfect creation that must be revered by all. They work well for some and not for others. Why do folks seem to take any negative brooks comment as if their personal ox was gored.
Lots of people love their B17, which is great, but of all the saddles I have owned it was my very least favorite. That is how it is with items like saddles, how well they work out is very dependent on the user and the usage.
