And, expected it would be somewhat along those lines.

One problem with FR is at times something's posted that is so uniformly idiotic that to specfically run through the idiocies would take me a solid 1/2 hour....

No need for the details. Your general overview is sufficient.

I just appreciate you as a . . . great reality testing voice of the opposition.

I have a bias that strong willed and strong opinionated folks like myself do very well to the point of MUST give at least one ear (or eye?) at least occasionally to the voices of those stridently on the other end of at least some topics.

Besides, I've sought out a wide diversity of perspectives for more than 45 years. Not about to stop.

Thanks.
