That this was brought up again and responded to really makes me upset. By now it should have been obvious to all that Art's original posting of the forerunner of this thread was to parody some of the somewhat vacuous threads we were having at the time ~~ what's your favorite _______ , what ________ do you prefer, etc? Trouble was, too many accepted it as serious.

Art has publicly stated several times (in so many words) that he regrets having done so.

There can be no value to continuing it now except to be hurtful. By now we ought to know better.
