 All I was trying to say is that achieving 3,000 hits is pretty special.  Perhaps we should all just enjoy the accomplishment instead of trying to "win" a discussion that somehow devolved into the polarized argument this thread has become.

 I tend to think ,for many in this discussion anyway, that the "polarization" existed before. If I had known so many folks would turn this into  some personal vendetta against the OP (and vice-versa) I probably would have stayed away, but by the time that became apparent to me, I was already neck deep in it!  lol
