Well, those are exactly the opposite of the types of responses I had =
hoped for.=20

Responses that ignore the concerns of others. Responses that =
(implicitly?) insult the intelligence of others. And responses that can =

These responses highlight perfectly why discussions on this list are so =
contentious.
