THANK YOU.

I was wondering when someone would realize that my comment was tongue-in-cheek.

Imagine a Monty Python skit -- "Quiet, Please. Listening Room Only"....

In a fit of Irish temper I deleted all my posts on this subject. I was chastised by the modertors for this bit of childishness and I therefore reinstated, to my best recollection, a paraphrase of each of my posts before I ride off into the sunset. Time for a guiness.

Don't worry Brian, I got the joke too and got a good chuckle out of it. I just didn't respond. I was surprised by the person who responded just after you, with a list of all the people that played in the quiet room.

Bill, you can't take this forum too seriously. It is informative and entertaining, but if we have completely one side topics, we wont have a discusion at all. Which is what Uilliam was saying too.

I once attended a seminar for post-graduate students where I voiced my concern about airing opinions which would result in my being shot down by fellow students. The comment was made that it is better to be shot down for making a statement than to make a statement and be completely ignored. At least when you get shot down, someone is actually acknowledging your presence, for one, and your contribution to the discussion.

Nobody has to be right or wrong about stuff like this. Just interested.

Opinions are just that....opinions. To be shared. Listened to. Thought about. We don't have to agree all the time. That would be too boring to contemplate.

..... one participant taking the huff will leave the others, who took part in [or lurked but followed] the debate, feeling a wee bit negative about the whole experience too.....and the next good debate will be minus another opinion or two. What's the point in that??

In my opinion!!!

It would fall regardless, and pipers would come to 'listen.'

Is that something like the old question, "What is the sound of one cran clapping ..." or is that, "What is the sound of one clan crapping ..." um, maybe that should be, "What is the clap of ...." no, wait a minute, I'll get it, um, what is the ... what was I saying?

If a cran fell in the forest and there was no pipers there to hear it.... they'd probably still criticize it for not being played correctly.

Yes, but how would ___________ (fill in name of your favorite famous piper) have played it?
