   Indeed; healthy, isn't it? I mean, at least when the opposing arguments
are intelligent ones.

   I wasted time this afternoon carefully composed a point-by-point rebuttal,
but the truth is, I'm already weary of this since my goal was never to
convince those who have already decided what they will do and expect everyone
else to do the same thing, but rather show those who _haven't_ yet made up
their mind that there are other options; and I have hopefully already
succeeded there.

   I only note that the only people who are _always_ demonstratably wrong are
those who maintain there is only one valid way to do anything. And the only
people who are _always_ worthy of being ignored are those who demand that
_other_ people accept that there is only one valid way of doing anything.

   I will make no additional comment on this subject and allow all of you who
believe using demime is the only solution for everyone to have the last
word(s).
