"Lots of folks are just popping off with opinions based on their own prejudices and a distinct lack of any actual knowledge. I'm merely trying to supply some of that knowledge," so

t seems that you believe that other posters here either have NO sources from which they are forming their opinions (or, at least those opinions which you object to) or that YOUR source is somehow much superior to theirs.

I'm not sure which, but seeing as I
a) have done my homework from multiple sources, and
b) I'm seemingly expected to sit through sixty minutes of something with no explanation as to *what* it actually contains, I'm not about to try to disabuse you of your incorrect presumptions..

I should probably sing Rule Britannia, while flogging a poor chimney sweep, and drinking a cup of Earl Grey from a china cup right about now then.. ;-)
