    Which is better? (1 or 2 ?)

    1. "For those who like this sort of thing, this is the sort of thing they like."

    2. "For those who like this sort of thing, this is the sort of thing they'll like."

    I suppose it depends on whether the thing already exists. If it does, I prefer #1. If the thing is new or still being developed, I prefer #2.



    True Melissa, please don't give oxygen to the posts of the moron
    HenHanna - at least not in AUE. The clucking Hen is an attention
    seeking whore who posts, just to annoy thinking people.
