It is seldom I've seen anyone change their mind about politics on the Internet. Or in real life, either, when it comes to politics. It does happen; some of us go through transitions. I was a Democrat at one time. I was a Republican at one time. Last election I voted straight Libertarian except for one Republican. So, people do change over time, but I doubt it was anything anyone said to me, ever. So, I wonder sometimes whether we [those of us posting here or elsewhere] really want to convince anyone, really. It isn't very effective if so. I started posting on Usenet and other places around '91 I think. I've never convinced anyone of anything, I'm pretty sure.
