All:
My intent was not to start an argument - I like this forum and respect too many people here for that. I was only trying to establish a sense of perspective. I wouldn't suggest someone be disallowed to post their opinion (provided they are within the bounds of the forum rules) and I'm surprised to hear people suggest I suppress mine.

That said, I am always willing to be swayed by new evidence and it seems the problem may be bigger than I anticipated (Thanks irecon for the link!) but it's been a while since I was on campus.
