Just a Note on the Debate:.

Alex and I have discussed this, and he has decided not to widen the debate by trying to respond to commenters. I concur with this decision, as the last time we tried this the commentary discussions got, well, a bit heated. Plus it distracts from the main thrust of this: his position vs. mine. So, feel free to comment, but don’t be disappointed if neither he nor I address your points specifically.

This isn’t about you, it’s about US! [*wink*]
