i second this guy.  on-line discourse, at least in this forum, is WAY too
steeped in wishy-washy, tiptoe-through-the-tulips, insecure b.s.  come on, if
someone is expressing a thought, idea, review, well of course it's THEIR
opinion--they wrote it!  i like reading everyone's thoughts and
interpretations on the boc-l, but prefacing each & every sentence with
disclaimers such as "i think...", "in my humble opinion...", and "if i do say
so..." reeks of insecurity.  same goes for extreme semantic dissection.
get on with it, I CAN TAKE IT!!
till next time...
