Well then I am saying that I make no assumptions about the psychiatric health of other WG members :) Seriously, though. Rob's underlying point (I believe) is that is more healthy not to know or think of group opinion when forming individual opinions. That is how group think happens. I read "The Wisdom of Crowds" some time ago. It is very convincing on this point. I know your intent was to sum up and as I said I appreciated it and it was helpful. The caution, though stated with Rob's characteristic extra helping of personality, is well taken. - Luke
