I don't like the government but I still pay taxes. I don't like pain, but I
still go to my physiotherapy. You don't have to like something to use it. Or
to want to see it fixed if you think it's broken.

Whoa! Now who's being defensive? I can't see *where* you got that prejudice

If this is what you're seeing LUGnet as, you're not looking very clearly.
Just for the record, I think Larry's been pretty level-headed on this one, and
I tend to end up across the fence from him more often than not.
