Quote - And no Xeno, I'm no authority on anything regarding the philosophical. I just seem to have the ability to string together words in a way that's fairly coherent once in awhile.

Most of us have that ability -- once in awhile.

snort  I've heard it said that great minds think alike........but I have to say that it's an extremely odd suggestion to make, considering......well, never mind.  Won't go there.  Other than to say that what's good for the goose is also good for the gander.    The implications of doing something on a regular basis oneself -- and then criticizing others for doing essentially the same thing.......that's quite odd.

Posting opinions in the forums always carries with it the risk of receiving a response -- perhaps even a response which comes from a contrary position.  That fact doesn't trouble me.  If I start a thread on certain topics -- then I would do so fully expecting to hear from others who take a different point of view from my own.  In fact, this happens on a regular basis -- even in purely technical threads.  And not just in this forum, or on this site -- I've found it to be true wherever I happen to browse through forums.  Of course, I realize that things would be a lot easier if only those who didn't agree with me would just be quiet & go away.....but they've yet to do me that favor.

Another option is non-participation.  Which is a perfectly legitimate choice to make.  And many people make that choice -- which is fine.  But expecting to participate, and then to have everyone line up in perfect agreement with me.......?  Not in this world.
