I agree with Paul. I think none of us are going to convince the others of us to change our minds. People tend to formulate an opinion based on gut reaction, then look for facts to back it up. Then, once we have our facts, we accuse other people of not doing their homework. The HD conversation has been giving me acid in my stomach lately because of the smug tone of it all. (Ross, you have my permission to use that line to make fun of people like me. "Aaah, I'm going to have to unsubscribe! Aahh! Can't take it... any... more!!!")
I think discussion is important, and it's important to be accountable for our opinions. But seriously, don't you guys have jobs or anything? I'm still trying to find time to write back to Al Krigman, who mentioned to me that since I was asking about house painters, aren't I glad we don't have an HD to get in the way of my plans (which is kind of ironic because HDs typically don't deal with paint as an issue.) Anyway, back to work, everyone!

Your messages are testing the boundaries of civility. You obviously will not convince each other. I suspect that many of us lurkers find the discussion distasteful and unpersuasive. (But please don't ask for a vote on that.) My personal vote is that all of you take it off line and stop forcing your loud selves on the rest of us. If you can't restrain yourself, how about trying to be concise?
