@ossobuco,
Aah...relax. They're just funny.
Trying to make a study into a huge sociological/political psychodrama.
Of course such studies have a socio-political context, but such turgid offerings by Hawk and now Aidan can be ignored, laughed at, or explored with interest and debated enthusiastically....whatever suits you.
I meant the thread lightly, though I think the subject matter is interesting....but heck, there's no controlling threads.
Who knows whether the dear old spot exists or doesn't?
It's still fun looking.
If it feels like you have one, enjoy it. If you feel like you don't....STILL enjoy it.
