Just took a few minutes to read through the related post history and regarding this message and found it fairly informative regarding your perspective versus ebear's.
I personally will be quite happy and in fact looking forward to reading more ebear posts which have a distinct tendency to add to the breadth and depth of perspectives we get on this board.
P.S. "unless of course you are a woman which would explain a few things" ... just for fun I would love to hear you elaborate on this point (OT of course).
