No, I was stating that this was a *problem* in this discussion and that debating it on purely technical terms would miss that crucial point, not that emoting had some intrinsic value in this debate.

Others have dissenting opinions or there would be no debate here. I'm just trying to make the point that pounding on the desk with your shoe is no way to bring the other side into agreement. Jordan
