   Yes, I did.  It went on and on, with some 69 posts, with posters arguing   
   back and forth, with one poster saying that he would continue to   
   maintain that Deckard was NOT a replicant, that Scott's view was not   
   important.   Then, there is the poster in this thread that said "And   
   besides, Ridley Scott can go f*** himself."   
      
   The reason I posted in this particular thread was that I finally got   
   around to watching Disc 4 of the set, and all the interviews.  Up until   
   that point, I had no particular opinion of Deckard's humanity or not.   
   Ridley Scott's proclamation that he WAS a replicant finalized the   
   argument for me.   
      
   Some argue that Scott was ONLY the director; what would HE know?  That,   
   I believe, is a ridiculous position, and why I entered my post   
      
   --   
   Thieves get rich and saints get shot, and God don't answer prayers a lot.
