Doug, this is hyperbole.  Hyperbole in poor taste perhaps, but hyperbole
none the less.

Justin nailed my failure to address Greenspans' position without
acknowledging the singular line I was addressing and the intent of my
hyperbole, you've taken my hyperbole out of context from the rest of my
statements and flamed it.  All part of another day on the internet, yes?
