It's pretty simple, it's conversation 101. You out line why you think something is important and I out line why I think it's not... maybe one convinces the other maybe not. When I was younger a TV show got into my head and I loved it... Odyssey 5. It had teh most awesome cliffhanger. I could explain to you in detail why it mattered I never got the ending to that story... but if you look at it and say "Dude, it's a show from the 90's not that big a deal" doesn't mean you are wrong... or that I am... it means we disagree.</blockquote>
