I get very little response so.....


If you do,

Most of the time I just try to get Bart mad. ;)

I just want them talking full stop. Debate is good.

So I'm obvioulsy not a skilled writer then. Does that mean I'm not
allowed to say anything?

If unintended results occur then it's from misinterpreation and
assumption. People should ask questions to elaborate.
