Greetings and welcome to the Straight Dope Message Board. I hope you’ll enjoy your stay and find many things to discuss and learn here.

I hope you’ll take the time to read the rules of the SDMB in general and the Great Debates forum in particular. Unfortunately, your Original Post here is not quite up to our standards. I’ll leave it up for the moment to see if a debate develops, but in general, we expect our posters to make their debates clearer and to take a position as they begin a debate.

Again, welcome to the SDMB. I hope you enjoy your visit.
