A:
Yes. Thats similar to why I engage in some discussions -- asides from
being neurotic and suffering compulsive disorders. :). Not to find
Truth, or win consensus. But the process of reading posts can spark an
idea or insight, and the process of translating that spark into words
can "teach" one many things they did not know. The actual dialogue is
sort of secondary and in the background.
