Aside from being the holder of the steel-toed boots, I'm also the moderator of this list, and try to foster discussion. That's the major reason I ask questions, just like on the radio. When I write something, I rarely shy away from an opinion. Here, things are different. I'm interested in hearing a range of views, and see my job as encouraging their expression.
