I wouldn't say that I have changed poles on this - and I have not followed the Iraq threads on Mudcat very much. However, what I have read has all been very useful to me in that it is an open discussion. There are people who's viewpoint I respect, and their opinions expressed here all have some influence on my views. My opinion would be a thinner thing without the Mcat threads. So yes - I'd say the threads have changed my mind - by making it a slightly more informed mind.

Cheers all.
