Another slack chain question

Unbelievably, I only truly found this out within the past 4 days. My chain has been slightly slack....well loads more slack than I've ever had it before, and the result? A whisper quiet and honeyed ride. I really and truly can't believe the ride. Its so smooth, its better than any bike I've had from new. Even close to the hack I rode back in my courier days (a beater built up with a Campag and Miche parts...smooth and effective).

Why oh why have I followed the slack-is-bad mantra of this forum? I suppose too much slack is bad, but a bit of slack is like a night with the partner of your dreams. I will tighten it a bit, but never again the uber-taut chain from before.

As you were men (and graceful ladeez).

I think you'll find that if you had have followed the 'slack is not bad you muppets' mantra repeated by myself and RPM and and and instead of the wobbly trackstand-attempting hipster set you'd have been ok.
