It would appear that you have an uncanny knack of getting up peoples' noses, Mr Z. Perhaps that is an American failing, but you were born with that, so we won't penalise you too much. As you so rightly say, "people disagreeing with people", but you must agree with me, that you are more verbose than most, after all, look at the number of your own postings. I would even go as far as saying that you are too outspoken on most subjects, and you seem to revel in your own opinions, whether right or wrong.
