Actually, that's technically your estimation -- not your opinion. It may be correct or incorrect (and if it's incorrect, then I'm incorrect too, because I have come to the same conclusion), but the fact it's not a settled matter doesn't mean it's opinion. The term opinion has a very specific meaning, and this isn't it. Saying *you* don't appreciate it would be a matter of opinion. Saying you think most people don't appreciate it would be an estimation of the popularity of a given opinion -- but not an opinion itself. I don't mean to "bust your balls" on this, so to speak. I just want to offer my thoughts on the matter of what does and does not constitute opinion so that people who disdain what others observe but cannot necessarily prove will not find it as easy to dismiss things as mere "opinion". --=20 Chad Perrin [ original content licensed OWL: http://owl.apotheon.org ] Quoth Anonymous: "Why do we never have time to do it right, but always have time to do it over?" --bjuZg6miEcdLYP6q Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.10 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAkoe3lEACgkQ9mn/Pj01uKWGqACgkldYTU5AVGhH/k2+O46khtwX 3oEAoKhaCNdCvcB8LTw+j2Xlg2tIil2t =f9Q3 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --bjuZg6miEcdLYP6q--
