I of course "hate" people that disagree with me, but it's the (more or less, grin) DU habit of oppositional, fact-based, possibly sourced debate that I appreciate. And such debate doesn't exist without differing positions.

So a big :cheer: to my (which coincide largely with your, I noticed) detractors.

Great thread, Fumesucker
