I know admitting ignorance is not the mode de jour in modern society, and especially not so in the wolf-pack world of geeks, but Far Out!, it's really not hard, and it diminishes neither the spirit nor the esteem in which you're held. (Often quite the reverse.)

Oh, come on now, Justin.  You're a better guy than that.  There was no need to put heat under that plate.  Just let the opinions fall where they will.  There's no harm in it.

"too tired to argue" is a warning sign for ourselves not to post! :-)  I know I
gotta watch it many times! (like this one? ooop. too late!)

All the best,
