Thanks Mike.  It is true, sometimes I just express a view for the sake of 
debate.  I don't have to agree with a view to express it.  I don't even 
have to believe a view to express it.  As long as it's relevant to the 
debate and a good solution is found.

Mike!  You aren't an ignoramus!  You might not post much, but that doesn't 
make you ignorant!  Everyone on Link has unique interests and skills, and 
the majority have intellect to accept a broader range of topics, enter 
discussion and grow!

To be an ignoramus, you'd have to ignore Link!  And probably half the world!

Your continuations from your interests enlighten me :)  I'd be ignorant to 
many of the things that are bantered around link, from the likes of Brenda, 
Danny, Josh, just to name a few.

Wow, that's really deep.  Can I give that to my wife to use in a script?

(Rofl) Ahh but if it wasn't for the Internet, none of my personal hassles 
would exist.  And if it wasn't for Link, my father wouldn't search the Link 
archives for phrases to extract out of context and use in the Court 
hearings be brings against me and my wife!

It's a Karma thing really :)  A fractal.  A cycle of growth, and demise.
