There, that wasn't so hard, was it?
Well, come to think of it, it
was hard. I asked that question ten pages ago. It took you ten pages and a score of posts back and forth -- veering wildly between transparent evasion, feigned ignorance, and juvenile insults -- to arrive at your answer. And the funny thing is, it's the
right answer -- or, at least, the only answer that makes sense, given the position that you've staked out. In other words, it's the answer you should have given ten pages ago. Why you tried so hard to avoid giving it is a complete mystery to me, but I long ago stopped caring.
I have other questions to ask, but I no longer have the patience to wait ten pages to pry a reluctant answer out of you. As it is, this entire thread can be summarized in an
Onionesque headline: "Area Man Expresses No Opinion, and Does it Badly." I have, however, learned something here. Not so much about your position,
Frank, but about you. I am confident that it will be a long time before I'm sucked into another one of your intellectually barren vortexes of self-caressing.
