Your excellent post leaves me in the rather odd and awkward position of finding myself unable to disagree with someone who disagrees with me.
I was about to take issue with the kind words you spent on me, but then i noticed with great relief that they are part of the sarcastic section of your blog, so even on that front all is in order.
I will just underscore your last point -- I could not agree more.
