For normal skiing I stay on 10. If I plan on hucking cliffs though I'll crank it up to 12

No, it was necessary. It doesn't offend me so much as concerns me. Sharing DINs is no more relevant than comparing pant sizes or shoe sizes and at worst it could be dangerous if some idiot gets into a "this one goes to 11" cock waving competition. If you want to debate the merits of trusting the manufacturer charts that ski techs use, go for it. Posting numbers is at best no different than posting pant sizes and at worst could instigate someone to do something stupid.well that was unnecessary, if that offends you then you don't have to answer

I'm on the tech installed mark for someone my weight, age, and III+ ability. I don't crank it up for cliff jumps and I don't pre-release. I ain't posting my number... I don't want any one to feel inferior because they need to crank theirs up to feel secure.

Indeed. I go with what the chart says and leave it at that. I don't pre-release.
There's nothing harsh about that.
The tone was harsh not the comments. Riv does come off like that at times especially to newbies. I am not saying he was wrong.
I'm not sure how you can detect tone over the internet? His post seemed innocuous to me.
I thought that would be a 27.5 mondo!!!
