Honestly, I don't think they'll be any consensus on this argument |
| 8 |
until a court makes some kind of ruling. That isn't likely to happen |
| 9 |
anytime soon. And I suspect that any ruling that gets made will be |
| 10 |
wrong in any case. But, it will at least have the force of law so |
| 11 |
that even though you're wrong you can at least use it to ruin lives |
| 12 |
with statutory minimums. |

I don't really see a lot of profit in going back and forth on this. |
| 15 |
I've had arguments on the lists with Greg KH over similar issues. |
| 16 |
People have strong opinions, and there isn't a lot of case law, and |
| 17 |
that makes for long arguments. In the end people choose to believe |
| 18 |
what they believe. If you want to go with authority you're probably |
| 19 |
best off sticking with the opinion you already have and you'll be in |
| 20 |
good company. Personally, I've never really cared that much whether |
| 21 |
others think I'm right or not... :) |
