Welcome to FR, BigNoddy. We try to keep vanities to a minimum here, especially if it's something that can (and has) been discussed on another thread.
Thank you, Serb. I can respect the "keep vanities to a minimum" and I am certain that there have indeed been many, many discusions about this before. I am equally certain that there will be many more.
I think it is an important issue. In fact I think it is critical. I have stated my reasons. My reasons are based on my personal observations, which are relevant and truthful and unlike "non-vanities", if that's the correct term, something I know first hand.
If I am going to get mugged for that, then so be it. I can handle it. Like, gee, it really hurts to get mugged on an anonomous internet bulletin board? (rolleyes) And, gee, someone who mugs me is really brave and tough. Right?
Again, how about a constructive statement about the points raised?
