No thanks required. Think nothing of it.


You're quite welcome anyway.

Don't forget what my purpose here is. It's to stimulate debate, and by doing
so, cause people to think. I donąt much care *what* they think, so long as
they exercise some mentation. That's why I'm very, very hard to insult and I
don't really mind being wrong (though I seldom am). I never take it
personally because I know that sometimes it necessary to pierce the Usenet
persona to get to the real truths involved, and sometimes that takes
vigorous and even contumacious debate to get beyond the sneering veneer and
to sort out the Netwits (of whom there are many) from those with some
modicum of wit and intelligence (who can be quite hard to find).

And most of my intended audience are the lurkers, of whom there are also
many, if my private email is any indicator, who enjoy the give and take.
