I apologize Marnie for digging up dead old threads on you. :(
I found the thread a fascinating read and your point of view was the most fascinating of all. It just took me a long time to get on the top of my to do list. Now its taken a whole life of its own again. Including an excursion into the antics of a couple of drunk pdml teens. <vbg>
OK. Back to photography. Esp all things Pentax. ;)

7.) I don't debate (at least anymore and at least not on the Net). I've been
involved in too many knock down and drag out usenet/list -- mainly usenet -- "conversations" to find it amusing or entertaining anymore. I also think debate
about religion/politics/belief systems to be fairly pointless.
HTH!, Marnie aka Doe
If you are not willing to debate it, you should probably keep it to yourself.
Exclamation point!
What an avant-garde position, William!
Most folks whose positions are cast in concrete are more than willing to debate (aka proselytize.)

My belief system is more grey than most people's b&w. It's extremely flexible. And that is my business.
Okay, I am totally pissed, though probably I shouldn't be.
I am dyslexic and having a written debate where I can truly express myself well, on the Internet, is simply beyond my linguistic skills. I have found this out in the past, and I refuse to indulge someone else's need to bash my logic anymore. Not in a written form where I have to strain and strain and never nail down what I really want to say.
In person, where I am not required to WRITE, then I do much better.
rg dug an old thread and threw it back at me -- I felt I was being semi-polite in responding at all.
Make that of that what you will.
