>>It's common enough for the mainstream folks here to treat comments from outliers as more challenging than they are. Moose has mentioned this before as have I. I think people must look at the "from" and anticipate an argument. It's an interesting phenomenon. Not suggesting that's what you did here. Like I said, Moose's comments were easy to miss.<<

Lane -

I trust MM enough to know that if he says he posted something, he did. Didn't mean to imply otherwise.

On the subject you brought up, I've had the experience of beginning to read a post by a particular person, and being prepared to disagree with it. And sometimes I'm surprised to find that I don't disagree. I try to read the words, and figure out what I think about them.

Of course, I am not perfect, and sometimes I just get ornery. There are people who are more likely to get a rise out of me than others.

But I've publicly agreed with just about everybody on this board about something, at one time or another, I'd say. And disagreed with just about all of them, too.
