Fair enough, but if you're going to accuse me of criticizing a view
without knowing what that view is, you would be well-advised to make
absolutely certain that I don't, otherwise you're just making another
assumption (as if that comes as any surprise).

Dost thou accuse me of poisoning the well?! He, he, he, well perhaps
a little, however there's a lot of truth in what I said regardless. I
mean when you really get down to it not that many ideals and everyday
practices of the dark ages are still carried out. Oh sure we still
have some of the old holidays and such, but we sure as heck don't
celebrate them like they did in the olden days.

You will, trust me. Sarcasm goes a long way and can initiate all
sorts of intrigue and debate. If you want proof look no further than
my own actions. I start posting here, and the post count jumps nearly
70%.

There are many benefits that you would probably not be able to
understand, even if I explained them to you.

Quite the oldbie are you then? He, he, he... `, )

Perhaps you just want to think I'm poking fun at you? I mean seeing
as how that isn't my intention I don't see any other plausible
explanation, do you? I find this to be a rather intriguing game of
wit and intelligence. : )
