77 Rice isn't eaten much around here either. That IS NOT the point tho.
78 The point is that having two ports is not the default. As I said
79 before, if what you claim were even remotely true, then board sellers
80 would be listing boards with two ports by huge numbers. They are not.
81 It is rare even. Well under 10%, likely less than 5%. That is FAR from
82 being a default. Anyone claiming otherwise is delusional.
83
84 Given your other posts, I've come to the conclusion that you are truly
85 living in a world that is not based on reality. You live is some bubble
86 that you have created where what you think is the only option. You,
87 even when shown facts, can not accept anything that doesn't fit in your
88 little bubble.

90 You posted that two ports is the default. Others and myself posted that
91 is not correct. I even went to the trouble to prove it. Yet here you
92 are still posting that it is when you have yet to post a SINGLE fact to
93 back up what you claim. I posted how I researched it and did so in a
94 way that you should be able to do the same, and see it for YOURSELF.
95 Yet you refuse to even do that. You are right even when you are proven
96 to be 100% wrong in your little bubble. Unless you can prove that
97 having two ports is the default, by posting links to a major
98 manufacturers website or a major seller, you are talking BS and nothing
99 else. There is no point to you posting anything else. Post proof or you
100 are wrong. Get over it. Back up your claims. It shouldn't be hard if
101 you are correct. It took me about 5 to 10 minutes to do my research and
102 about the same to post it.
103
104 Have a nice day. Enjoy your little bubble.
