[QUOTE="Bumbles, post: 4807720, member: 83457"] A good number referring to a number higher than a few, less than all. I didn't bother to count them since I figured an approximation would be enough. Think somewhere over 1/8 and less than 1/2 if you need somewhere to go. And yes, it would be arguing over minutiae, and likely to be fruitless. What I really intended to do was to express how different our perspectives are, which would not, IMO, be served by arguing with you on the specifics. Of course, it's possible none of those are the ones I thought of, so what's the point of your trying to defend yourself? I might agree with some of you on some of them for all you know. I'm sorry it sounds that way, but to me, what I'm trying to say is that my perspective on many of your examples is so completely divergent from yours that it may not be possible to come to an agreement other than each thinking of things differently. I have my reasons. I do not think I will be able to persuade you. Rather than try to engage what I feel would be a fruitless argument, I'm bypassing it. Not quite. What I'm saying is that I can see I'm coming from a totally different perspective, that many of the examples cited, I just don't see. If anything, I'm casting everybody's arguments in that light, rather than singling out any one in particular. Really? I thought I did say something like that. Let me check... [i]So um..yeah, my mileage varied quite a lot. I'm not even sure if I'm even using the same form of transport. [/i] Yes, I did. DB was a little off, but not so big a leap that it was completely wrong. And I cannot argue how you feel. Hence my declining to do so. Nor at this point, do I believe how I can help with your understanding. Especially not with arguing over what I'd see as minutiae. Which believe it or not, does not include everything you said, so citing individual examples as if they proved anything, really does not. [/QUOTE]
