I appreciate that Alderaan took the time to address every reply point-by-point with a reasoned, coherent, and otherwise concise argument for his position.

I don't agree with everything he wrote, but at least he didn't post several insanity-driven walls of text with nonsense arguments and tons of ellipses. There's too much of that on the WWW lately and I think it's refreshing to see posts like his rather than the aforementioned rubbish.
