[QUOTE="Iconoclast, post: 199657, member: 8906"] [COLOR=#0000ff]Tieguy -I'm sorry must have missed something. Did you post something new that urgently required a response from me? Oh I see. You thought you were having a debate with me didn't you? My last post covers everything I have to say on the subject. Not looking for a debate or pajama party. [/COLOR] [COLOR=black]Of course we were having a debate, that is the genesis of almost every thread on all message boards-to present opinions, build arguments, read other peoples points of view, add to the discussion, and point counterpoint different sides of an issue. Some postings are purely informational, for example, someone could post a link for a new health benefits site, that won't get much milegae, but most other threads are made up almost entirely of debate.[/COLOR] [COLOR=black]If you look at this thread, there is clearly debate going on by almost all participants, especially you and I.
