Re: Knock it off

["Doc" <doc -at- vertext -dot- org>]

First and foremost, "My blushes, Watson."

Second, I prefer arguing with people who can and do change their minds. I
certainly do. (My second best brain is in the laundry hamper as we speak.)

So long as you don't try to hide your identity, it certainly shouldn't
matter if one rethinks their position during a commute, or after a sip or
two of Laphroaig. Heck I have been known to change my mind in mid-post.
(Does that mean I'm drinking on the job? No, it means that I work out of a
home office and occasionally post late at night. ;-> )

The intent is what matters and I think Eric has misinterpreted yours.

My fondest regards to your evil twin,

-Doc
