I LIKE the posts by Paul, Ryan, Michel, Eric and others that include
thoroughly developed and supported arguments.  And I LIKE going
through threaded emails on lines of argument that interest me, seeing
point-by-point responses.

If only those who are interested respond, and the rest lurk, that's fine.

I'm not interested in seeing stuff "lightened" and dumbed down to the
point that people are ready to "follow" it, when that means making it
not worth following anyway.
