John,

I have enjoyed many of your posts, both opinions and data. I do wish that you would simply state your case and not engage in the defensive banter. You believe in what you believe so leave it at that. The kind of arguing that goes on on this board simply diminishes the credibility of all those involved. Good blogs are without the intense emotional friction and are respected for their neutrality and attempted factuality. I thank you again for your past posts. I also thank MJ for his though this message is equally for him.
