Maybe if you would talk to everyone and not down on everyone and  
accept that your opinion is just that, your opinion, and that others  
may or may not agree with your opinion, and that others might  
actually have an opinion of their own, and that your opinion may not  
be the defacto opinion... Eeeee.. If you don't get the point this far  
into it then disregard.

I wasn't even in this topic, but ya even ticked me off with the "Dan  
Shafer is all knowing and all powerful... kneel before my splendor,  
revel in my glorious ideas, and make it so; you little minions of  
mine!" attitude.  That might be a bit of a harsh way of saying it,  
but not sure how to put it into something that won't totally offend you.
