(About to break my own "I'm done posting in this thread" rule)...
Even I, as someone who was knee-deep in this thread for a while, agree
with Craig. The problem is it was a discussion for a while, but has
become people just talking over one another now.
I'm all for people expressing their viewpoints, no matter how unpopular,
but at some point it becomes obvious that no one is listening to one
another, and then it's an exercise in futility.
No one can stop anyone else from posting, not without locking someone
out from the list anyway, which I hope never happens to anyone, but at
some point everyone has to come to the realization that the conversation
has past the point of being useful in any real way. If no one's opinion
was changed 30 posts ago, chances are it's not going to happen now.
Besides, if the points being raised are valid at all, this thread won't
be the last of its kind... Someone will at some point start another and
it'll all come out again, so why not hold back some of the talking
points for next time? ;)
