On the contrary, the recognition of the differences between one's own opinions
and others that is expressed in "I think that" *is* important, and could have
helped some not bruise their feelings in this tortuous discussion.  At the very
least, more appropriate than many of the direct responses, would have been a 
mild rebuttal on the order of "Hey, I don't think so :-)"  Then many would have
been spared the thankless job of defending someone's right to express personal
opinions.

Are some really so inexperienced in dealing with the opinions of others that 
they might consider to be insulting opinions?  Wattsa matta, don't you folks
have relatives with whom to spend the holidays :-)?

	Blatantly declaring my close-minded opinions again,
