Cant find a substantial edge!

keeping in mind i'm cranky... regardless, crap like the above really sits wrong with me. nothing against the poster or anything the poster is saying so don't get me wrong and the wanting direction for learning is ace and so on, but the comment after ...

Cant find a substantial edge!
