Post #194,493 by ben_tilly 2/13/05 11:25:55 PM Reply	We've certainly given you a hard start... I'm fine with agreeing to disagree. I well remember that just a few years ago when I was in academia I would have taken great offence at the views that I've been describing, and would have argued against them with great force, if not substance. Hopefully we'll find other discussion topics that generate energy and interest where you'll not feel quite so overwhelmed.
