I like a good argument as well as the next guy, so let me chime in 
here.

I wrote two responses earlier in the week but did not send them 
because I thought they might inadvertantly contribute to animosity.  

For the record, good arguments (1) use sound logic, and (2) do not 
use ad hominems, invectives, hyperbole, etc.

I hope the discussion continues.  It is worthy of discussion.
