I'm sure everyone on this listserv could make a case--a good one--for either side. But there are some issues we simply decide by "our gut" (sorry) and this is probably one of them. How would we feel, and how much would we risk, if every comment posted by any of us on this site (published, actually) had to be "a model for all who read it"? I'm not so sure but what this is a very basic "big potato" question.
