Apologies to Rums for my sarcasm yesterday. Some work has been put into this thread and I assumed you were trying to score a cheap point. Looks like I overreacted.

As for people not understanding your ruminations, Darkmatters, I don't believe it is your fault. I have the same problem but I find that it is usually due to people being overly eager to argue rather than trying to understand exactly what I am saying. Of course opposition is great, but no good argument can be made without understanding first. The best results come from working together to help each other understand ideas before we begin to debate the details. This is difficult enough in the real world, let alone the web.

That said, I enjoy the reading and I think you are headed in the right direction.
