I am guilty of doing this as well. How can one support their views on the forum without offering supporting links? My methods are 90% personal opinions, with 10% of my offerings via links, news articles, etc. I shoot from the hip, with my comments based on things I have read and seen. I prefer to keep it that way. Not big on Googling for support.
One more comment before I go, and there are no links or charts to support this; I think both of you are excellent people with a lot to offer AD, but this particular "Itchy and Scratchy" theme that often occurs between you is not your finest contribution.
