I have talked about nothing but facts > and have intentionally left my personal opinions on unix out of it. Very true. But i find your critical thinking abilities, as exposed in your writings, comparatively low. Therefore, i find it a good gesture to give you honest advice. Please let me know if any point in that Wikipedia article on critical thinking you already know well, so that we can discuss facts well and have a proper argumentation. > You are free to attack any of my conclusions or arguments on-list or > off-list, but to broadly question my common sense without naming any > flaw is something I can only see as an insult. No, it's not a attack or insult. Usually i do a 1 min research on google group to see past exchanges between me and the tech geekers who vie to argue with me. With a glimpse of me and joe's past exachanges, i can get some idea of their nature, from their writing skill to expertise area to thinking skill. With that knowledge, i can give a more proper and fitting response. Like you emphatically expressed, i also try to correct others so that the young don't get corrupted by bad info. Please don't feel bad if i tried to correct your correction. When you tried to correct my correction of your correction and is corrected by me again, i would advice not to insist on correcting it back, because it is not fruitful. But if you insist on the virtues of facts and corrections, i'm happy to follow your lead. > Good day, sir. Good morn actually, it's 3:13 am here. I'm off to bed.
