coug, we've posted to each other and have found some common ground IMO. That said, you make some assumptions about me that aren't well founded. What makes you think I don't have any of my own beliefs? Or that someone must FEED ME my beliefs? That's a little presumptuous isn't it?

Coug, I think you are probably just being exuberant, but since close to the beginning of the Internet, capitalizing things really has been interpreted as shouting. So even when you aren't meaning to rub people the wrong way, sometimes it can come across that way. I'm not sure why you would suggest that Alan doesn't have any beliefs, or that someone needs to feed them to him. Can you put yourself in his position? I don't think you would probably appreciate a post like that directed toward you, either. It's fine to argue about belief systems here, but it sure seems to me like everyone definitely has one of their own, strongly held.
