If you make a commitment to stick around and address all my concerns instead of lobbing in a comment every hundred pages or so then maybe I'll take the effort to repeat everything I've already said.
I read a few dozen pages some weeks back, so I think I got a fair flavour of the substantive arguments mixed in now and then. Others seemed to be doing an excellent job of injecting logic and signal so I left it at that.
But I am not convinced you are trying to be persuaded, maybe more enjoying the protracted heated discussion

ps it only takes a second to trim quotes - the thread'd easier to read if you also would trim!
