I like the way that discussion ended "….. you’re a dork."

That's actually really funny because I thought the exact same thing after reading it.

Good faith should not be blind, but nor should it be held to unreasonable standards of proof. We should not pass the buck by claiming there is not enough evidence to decide; we all must choose. Make sure you choose correctly!</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;"> </td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/33D8778D-B4CD-4D3E-B4A7-91CD0E2CC445/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
