In my Opinion, the folks "dissing" wedges are not really serious,
just using what we Americans call "banter". It is a fairly common
practice used on everything from computers to NFL football (it still
tweaks my nose the hear the forty niners referred to as the forty
"whiners") but that is the general intent of the "banter"... to give
a friendly tweak of the nose, but has absolutely no hostile intent.
As a sidescreen owner myself I must candidly admit that there are
times when roll-up windows and A/C would be a comfort, but then it
would not be a sports car would it <G> (html for Big Grin)
