Though I find a fair number of your posts oddly put and not born of strong desire to know a particular fact that perhaps has eluded you - and instead more of a compulsive desire to chat and be chatted to....I don't think it's my place to question your right to posting your thoughts, the format, or whether they are pertinent. As others have written, I can always skip a thread I'm not enjoying or feel has no value to me.

What bugs me mainly are two things.
You monopolize discussion WITHIN particular threads, which I assure you discourages wider participation with you constantly changing the direction and point of the thread, and just plainly tires me out reading - it sucks the wind right out of any intersting thinking being shown by others. And the whole shtick you've got of running between a couple of posters making conversation with them when you haven't been targeted for discussion, and re-conjure what they must be thinking based on what they've written...honestly, you're not that intuitive or bright to be guessing everyones thoughts and presenting them anew with your 'greater or clearer' meaning for our digestion. And frankly - that's not a slam. Others shouldn't do it either (and largely don't) unless they're dealing with friends they know and therefore have deeper knowledge of what might be meant, or said in a thread.

And to Gil's point, all too often I find your stated facts and positions plain wrong. Silly wrong. And the whole legal expertise thing.....there are people on this board with EXTRAORDINARY legal accumen and they tend to only offer opinion where the topic makes sense. And then in reading their thoughts it becomes clear they know what they're talking about. Too often reading your legalese it feels like I'm watching an episode of LA Law.


So if you could just resist sharing you're every thought, I'll keep my mouth shut and similarly post only what little I know.


Sincerely
Daniel
