You know what makes me most angry? This whole thread started out with OB1 and I in perfect agreement, but suddenly everything went awry. Now sure the way I put it was rather obviuosly a lead in for an argument considering what I now know OB1 thinks (I had been convinced that OB1 actually liked the look of the suit), but OB1, is it just me or do you have the viewpoint that acknowledging the other person's opinion in something like this as perfectly valid somehow degrades your own opinion in some way?
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
