Andrew, if I had really believed just being contray was his only motivation I wouldn't have bothered to write so much. If I didn't have any respect for contrary points of view I would ignore them and not work so hard to get my view across.

Maybe a couple of people will actually try to read and consider what I said, so that is good enough for me. Points of view for the SAKE of different points of view in a learning context? The biggest problem people have is separating the wheat from the chaff. If just reading a bunch of points of view taught you how to think we'd all be professors. Yes, everyone has something to give. But you have to learn a lot before you are able to learn what is relavant and what is complete crap.
