bump

I found it interesting that rob had the last post in this thread - perhaps I should have left it that way.

I've only just noticed that Rk's user account doesn't exist anymore. Thought he'd just vanished. Did he delete his account?

That is odd. I think that changed since I posted earlier.

How about a proper debate?

You know, one with rules and referees?

Set up a forum for the debate, with the refs the rest of the cellar. AGree to rules of the debate (no ad hominem attacks etc) and then stick to them, if one of the participants breaks the rules, the debate is over and that person is declared the loser.

We could even keep stats... take bets etc! LOL, it could be FUN!

Things that make you go "Hmmmm."

One often hears people say [words to the effect]:

......"Let's consider, just for the sake of argument, ..."

Yet, I don't recall anyone saying:

......"Let's consider, just for the sake of debate, ..."

Hmmmm.
