Ron, I have to say that your debating style remains as snide and condescending as ever. Your treatment of your rhetorical foes on this forum embarrasses me even on the fairly frequent occasions when I agree with you about something. And I so often disagree with pdq... ;-)

I hope you are not that nasty in person, Ron.

As regards the debate, I tried to read this frikkin' thread and sort out all the arguments pro and con, but I started getting a headache after awhile, and decided it just ain't worth it.
