No, Sal, it's not a dodge, at least not with Lawson and me. I'm perfectly happy to say whether I believe something or not, even when it isn't relevant to whatever is being discussed. And so is Lawson. And just for the record, if there is *anybody* on this forum who is not willing to take responsibility for what they say, it's Barry. If you think I'm off base, ask him to cite an instance where Lawson or I refused to say what we believe. For that matter, *you* cite such an instance. If you decline, I think I'm justified in saying you refuse to take responsibility for what *you* say. *All* of this is just more "True Believer" demonizing.
