O.K., I've just read this whole thread, and I think this thing needs to get pinned up top. Then it needs to be retitled "How to carry on a debate with differing ideas and still be civil to one another"!!! THIS is exactly what is missing from the recent threads that have all turned ugly. So many different opinions, but all of it handled with respect!!! I've read every single post and actually feel like I learned something! Hats off to all of you! Awesome, awesome thread and discussion!
