triqui, let's not pour more gasoline on the fire. I made an injudicious comment that I needed to and did clarify, so quoting it just to post some one-liner in reinforcement is hardly going to do this thread any favors.

I should also take this opportunity to make an apology for letting myself get too involved in this discussion in the wrong sort of way and losing the neutrality I should have retained. I do not have any personal stake in this as such, but a moderator should be able to maintain neutrality as well as an appearance of neutrality in threads like this.

So, K, Foodstamp, I'm sorry for that lapse. Hopefully my views as a whole have been clearly expressed after all the clarifications. And since they have been expressed, I expect that I will not take much of an active role in this discussion after this post. I'll keep an eye on it, though.
