Thean,

You are right. My observation during one year at SI has been that anyone such as yourself who makes any kind of meaningful, substantial and substantive contribution to a thread, and especially any contribution that is in any way controversial, invariably catches flak. Then you are put in the unfortunate postion of having to defend yourself, or look like a wimp.

Neither of those alternatives is appealing. To not defend oneself is unacceptable. Yet defending oneself is too time consuming. So perhaps the best thing to do is just what you are doing - either leave or cut back on your posting. Makes a lot of sense to me. In addition, you've got far too much talent, especially in the TA arena, to be wasting it here anyway.

Having said all that, I do hope you'll reconsider, and keep posting your opinions and ideas - especially on TA. But if you don't, I'll be the first to understand. No one likes to be boxed into an untenable corner.

Regards,

Ice
