I'm a politician - hopefully in a good way. :-)

I hear ya better now.

Tricky, this issue, because people will tend to disagree - and strongly
- and the hope is that everyone can still have a beer together. :-)

Thus is the trickiness of lists - how do you have civil discussion
without watering down opinion to a lowest common denominator? how do you
have smart and passionate opinion without vitriol and flames? 

Tough questions indeed. Luckily thechat seems to just *rock* :-)
