CJ,
If we didn't have this discussion I would have never learned about East Timor. I conclude that pissing is the proper path to learning. Witness that as the piss dies down, the conversation turns to espresso, beer, and popcorn. Personally, I'd rather piss and learn than talk about food and drink.
For the record, you said to me "I find your posts insightful and thought provoking ... but" which is the same sort of technique you refer to above. Should we both retire it or continue on? I kind of like it myself and also thought it clever when you used it - even more clever than the way I used it.
