    @ bystander

    Thanks for the update link for BooMan. I went there and read his ongoing debate with Glenn. BooMan is out of his league. He sounds like he's creating a rosy scenario to fit his rationalizations.

    Also, he needs a primer on grammar.

    Still, it is an interesting discussion.
