This reasonable analysis is what supports my overall very favorable opinion of this forum, and of IIDB as a whole, because apart from the occasional sniping and flaming, or just plain bad manners, there are individuals of integrity possesing keen insight, who have the good sense not to go overboard in the judgement of any matter.
