That is exactly what I thought we got (apart from the you vs Dafydd
tennis match of "what have you done").

I did not mean to give that impression.  In fact if anything I believe
that I said I felt privileged to have such high quality software at my
disposal given how little I have actually contributed.

I also like dissenting views because they force me to analyze and refine
my own views.  Even if my views do not change, I usually have a better
understanding of my own beliefs.  It is also OK if we still disagree at
the end.  This is why I still talk to Jesse, I may not agree with him on
a lot of things, but I do usually learn something.

Having said that, these kind of discussions do require that one develop
a thick skin.  Right wrong or otherwise, it simply is what it is.
