Well, Larry, surely you spend a lot more time reading these newsgroups than
most, so perhaps only a few have ventured down to this part of the
discussion tree.
If you like, you could refer to the post in other parts of this (quite
large) thread... Of course, I feel a bit funny suggesting such a thing about
my own post, but then it's always nice to get exposure when you feel you
have something important to say. ;-)

Once again, I want to urge everyone to keep debates as concise as possible,
and be as _selective_ as possible when choosing what statements to respond
to in our discussions. I think that given the intellectual talent displayed
here ( we at LUGNET _are_ smart people), our debates would become
fascinating, enlightening and (most of all) easy to follow for anyone
interested, and then _nobody_ would question the value of .debate ever
again.

Anyway, enough pep-talk for now ;-)

Cheers,

P.S. Thanks for reading, Larry.
