[quote=Phil Hoskins
I love an argument based upon the unsupported assumption of one person then presented as the basis for one's own suppositions and conjectures. It makes following the discussion so, well, hopeless. [/quote]

We all have differing life experiences being exposed for longer or shorter times with various types and kinds of people and organizations, Phil. In doing so, we gather information and impressions differing by degree from that of others (who might indeed never have been exposed to particular types of people and organizations). Such knowledge does not lend itself to links and other 'supportive' background. And besides, there are (sometimes subtle) differences between expressing opinion and presenting argument, one of which is that expressing opinion is not necessarilly about convincing anyone of anything.:-)
