Scott, I'm sorry that my prior comments were not as impartial as they should have been.

On the other hand, through this discussion I've had to ignore comments like

Which are very obvious and unfair assumptions about my motivations. This puts me in the position of having to defend both my idea and my "virtue", which is perhaps why my frustration came out a bit in the last message.

Hmm. I’m sure it’s not personal, but I always feel that when people start telling others how they work, or what their motivation is, that’s kind of a sign that the discussion isn’t really in a productive place.

So I think I’ll just say Merry Christmas (or festive event of your preference), and leave it at that for now.

Cheers,
