Same to you!

Yes, there are some folks who are less mature, less tactful, and who exercise
worse judgement than some others when deciding what to say and how to say it,
but at least they have something to say, and some actually do constructive
things.

How would you characterise your own contribution?

If this is a characteristic communication of yours, I'm sure you get to hear
it often enough :-)

If bickering is dull, finding nothing better than bickering to bicker about
is just plain disgusting!

Lest anyone dismiss all of this as mere quibbling -- please consider that
it is precisely the gratuitous efforts at censorship of open discussion of
policy matters promoted by the uninformed and uninvolved and apathetic,
that leaves the field open to the self-interested.
