- Should I? Was your comment responsive to the issue originally raised?
- Am I obliged to respond to each thing you post?
- Generally, I don't respond to points if I don't feel like responding to
- points. That might be because I agree, or because I disagree. If I don't
- respond to your point, you get to pick (-:.

- Examples don't cut it.

- I can just as easily post 6 counter-examples.
-
- From your three examples, and my 6 counter-examples, does one conclude
- that the problem you mention is only 1/2 as important as the problem I
- mention? I don't think so.
-
- No, evidence means useful data, not stories someone told you. Not the
- most recent headlines.
-
- Please, try again.
