I think the most valuable part of this experiment was that you were both forced to address all of the issues that had previously been mentioned. This kind of civility and reasonable progression of ideas would be possible in the other threads if everybody would read the entire thread before posting and address the topic in its latest incarnation. I can't even count how many times I've seen somebody say something very reasonable and relevant to a thread only to have it ignored in most of the posts to follow (notably including posters from earlier in the thread who stand to benefit most from taking the new ideas into account).
