Classic! I'll have to remember that one to explain some of my own faux pas. Self-denigration is an admirable trait.
I can't help but notice that when I post my opinion (one that differs from the crowd here), I get slammed. When I say something that is self-deprecating (which BTW, was not indended as an admission of any faux pas), I get kudos. Kinda lame.
And another thing: Like every other person I have met in my life, Greg has different opinions on things than I do. Like few people I have met in my life, he has taken the time to educate himself on what he is talking about. He asks questions about shit he doesn't know, and he thinks through issues before formulating his stance. Then he stands behind it and can make logical, consistant arguments to back up what he thinks. I find this a rare character trait. I find it an admirable one.
