Well, what the fuck is the difference? I'd posit that, much like pornography, it is in the eyes of the anal retentive viewer.
So, seatec, get your buddy to close this thread too.

By definition, things which are in no way controversial don't get debated unless someone specifically makes the effort to be the devil's advocate.

It also begs the question: Is it okay to say anything you want in a debate, so long as you phrase it as a question?
