[yuh huh]

Matt, you're diminishing your near-legendary level of likability as a newbie poster. [no no no]

We've been over pretty much everything you said in exhaustive detail. And we (most of us) were just about to reach an understanding. This does not help matters at all.

I'm sure you have many wonderful nuggets of previously-unheard truth with which to enlighten us, and this dragging already-resolved points of discussion out for yet another unnecessary review is just a phase. [yuh huh] But please attempt to be constructive in your statements - there has been enough bashing of conservatives and liberals alike in here as it is.

I usually enjoy what you have to say. Don't spoil your track record as a largely objective, helpful poster by tossing out wooden, party-line, obscenely tired statements that will only lead to another round of broken-record liberal-vs.-conservative shouting matches.

I wouldn't get after you unless I really wanted to hear what else you have to say. [cool]
