This point seems to be lost on you.

Larry, what you wrote above to Eric is kind of insulting, and I think it's
backwards.  Eric and I happen to see eye-to-eye on a lot of things and it's
one of the reasons that we're friends.  We also happen to disagree on a lot
of things, and I think that's good.  Suzanne and I disagree on some things
too, and that's also good.  Other perspectives are good.  At any rate, I
think you may be looking at this backwards.  Two people don't agree with one
another because they're friends; they tend to become friends because they
tend to agree with one another on things (and have common interests, etc.).
If anything, Eric's "influence" in the past 24 hours has been extremely
professional and comes from experience as a telco vendor manager.  His
insights have been extremely enlightening to me.

(...) My goodness, how many times does this need to be repeated? It's easy to get an email. Easy, but irrelevant to the argument. I have 5. So what? It's HARD to toggle posting settings here. You minimise that as being something that technically (...) (24 years ago, 17-Mar-01, to lugnet.admin.nntp)
