Yes, I knew that *** was incompatible with D doctrine (and mine) but certainly a lot of what he said was a wake-up call that might spawn a few interesting discussions in this camp.

Perhaps if people take home something from the article that they want to talk about here, it might be an idea to quote the relevant bit and fork this thread (with new subject line as appropriate) so we don't end up with another tangled thread like the Hud? one last week.
