We are debating with Pete...

Nah. The only person round here "debating" with pete is you. One fine day you'll realise that his only interest is taking the piss out of you. He hasn't got the least interest in what you're saying. That's why the same twaddle comes up again and again. He thinks we've forgotten about the last time he brought it up. And you are giving him that strong impression, that we've forgotten. More fool you. Still, it's fun to watch.
