David,
As I thought I had made clear, I have little disagreement with any of your stated opinions. I'm not sure why you continue to be so combative about it. Your churlish tone makes me think you are in some way offended by my opinions, none of which I have stated as fact, and none of which I have asked you to agree with! If you are, in fact, offended by what I think -- or by the fact that I've bothered to stick around after the first round -- you're barking up the wrong tree. If you are trying to get me to "knuckle under", again, wrong tree. If you're just trying to prove your superior intellect, surely you have realised the futility of doing so on the internet?
As I said in my last post, "I took issue with your unsupported authoritarian tone. You feel that it's justified. Fine."
This was fun, but I've had enough.
