I was never saying wether it was for or against, I just thought you might be
interested, if not I won't send you any more. If you have a response that
you would like posted just let me know and I will post it for you.

To my knowledge a "straw man" argument is a weak one, if I am wrong,
"enlighten" me please. I still don't see what my idea of straw man is has to
do with anything, I am just sending you stuff I thought you might enjoy
reading.
