	I usually don't get fired-up about opinions.  I know that no matter
how outlandish, how bizzare and how unbelievable an opinion is someone out
there holds it (either that or I do :-) ).  This is probably why I am
one of the net observers and not big contributors.
	What was the result of that big scientific study they did last year?
That the sum of all net opinions equals zero.  Or was it that the net of
some opinions equals zero.  I can never remember :-).
