>>For some reason comparing ratio of 3:1 to 13:1 and saying they are equivalent seems odd.<< Peter - I haven't done so. As far as I'm concerned, trying to prove that one group of people is more open-minded than another by looking at this one particular ratio is a bit silly. There are so many factors that could go into causing the differences that it is just not valid logic to claim that it proves anything. I think you'd have to do an exhaustive analysis of the contents of the posts to really make a determination as to who is more or less open minded. Absent that, I'm going to stick by my own observations, which lead me to conclude that there are plenty of closed-minded people on both ends of the spectrum. - Allen
