It's funny LittleBigMan, I was thinking those very same thoughts on my ride home yesterday and I was wondering should I post them or not.

I had taken an extended break from visiting A&S and upon my recent return I was a little dismayed, but not really surprised, to see the same old arguments being played out.

Personally, i don't think anything I've read here has changed my mind or caused me to alter the way I ride, but then again I'm a stubborn, bone-headed sort. I do wonder if others have been influenced one way or another, however.
