"If you want the truth, stop having opinions..."

[David Andersen]

Bravo.  Great post. In other words, the phrase means: be open. Have  
flexibility. Think about it; read it again. Have a "student mind." In  
the words of The Pirate, "always an apprentice." IT MEANS SOMETHING  
WE ALL STAND FOR.

So, Paul, in person and in this mode you embody the qualities I look  
for and admire in a colleague. You are welcome to express yourself  
however you wish, because I trust it will be for the best, and for  
the good of our community.

One egregious failure I will point out: YOUR FONT IS TOO SMALL.  
Please. I'm a pathetic old weak-eyed geezer.  Have mercy.

Best,
David Andersen
