By the way...thanks, Poseiden for a good thread. Just don't take anything personally that we say and you'll be all right. I'm learning from both sides. The key to it all is to not turn opinions into insults. It's a fine line between the two, and when people get passionate about their feelings, it's easy to sound offensive. That's why they tell us dentists to not discuss politics or religion. It's a lot easier to make an enemy than a friend. ;\) The "glad you aren't a doctor" comment crosses the line from constructive discussion to taking a jab at somebody. That's where these things always go wrong. I almost locked this thread a while ago, but I had great faith in the people of this forum to have a good cold weather discussion without it becoming inflammatory. In my very, very humble opinion, this discussion could be about to turn south.
