I probably deserved the can of whoop-ass for my underdeveloped argument. Unfortunately, trackback does not seem to be working at CoOp, so I didn't see it until Ben Barros pointed it out to me. I've got a response up now, though. Cheers. Interesting post. I probably deserved the can of whoop-ass for my underdeveloped argument.
