   sorry, i critique on a post by post basis.   
   despite the tendency to personalise in ng's, i dont see the point- i   
   mean, everyone who posts here, even those who proclaim to hate each   
   other- might be buying each other a pint per point in some bar watching   
   a game and not know it.   
   do i like you? hard to say.   
   do i like your idea? well, thats the point of my post- im very skeptical.   
   perhaps a better angle?
