Jeez Ken, you had to go pull up that mess.
That was an interesting time. I remember that thread so vividly. I was really trying hard to play devil's advocate, but anyone that knows me knows that I am generally so non-confrontational and I hate to rock the boat (no one that knew me from that thread could have guessed!). I felt awful for days surrounding that thread since I felt like I was stirring up a hornets nest (as Joe put it) and making people angry, and I really hate to do that. However, I was trying to do something different at that time - I later decided to go back to my normal, more reserved self since it caused me a lot less anxiety.
To be honest, I was hoping that thread would stay lost forever. However, after going back and reading it, it was a great discussion. Oh, how I long for the days when the forums were so simple. But such is progress; and looking back only causes you to veer off the road.
