I'm inclined to keep reading this discussion. I'd give this topic a high grade for being interesting. I wouldn't come at this with a "shut this thread down" angle. If we do that, we are on a slippery slope of moderator intervention. I think it's a sine that we should continue this discussion since we've already traveled such a long distance.
I just don't want to see this thread go downhill too fast. I'm 8 percent sure that we can continue to have a decent discussion without anyone going off on a tangent. Sorry if this gets a rise out of any of y'all. I gotta run.
