I'm perfectly happy to leave it where it is. As with any lengthy off-topic
discussion, the list's tolerance thus far is appreciated.

The only point I would add is that my "entrenched point of view", if that is
what it is, is basically a wary scepticism of entrenched views.

I concur with Mike about the civilised tone of the discussion. Some of the
other debate I've seen on the net has been depressingly boneheaded, much
like the real-world events in question.
