Man, I'm exhausted! Phew!

Can we take a break, now? :)

Thank you, everyone!

Interesting detailed debates? No.
Ridiculous hypothetical debates that have carried on way too long? Yes.

LL,
Ah, yes...we Colonists are argumentative, arbitrary and crazy. :D

Back at the Debate Ranch, the thread vis a vis its original title was
debated ad nauseum, imo, and was in some aspects, a "solution"
in search of a not yet reported "problem", or occurrence, imo, Like
most threads, after some good points were offered, by all sides, it got a
little sideways.

I'm going to bookmark the thread and resurrect it, when we start reading
of BMWs and, X5s in particular, exhibiting some unintended acceleration/
unintended throttle response. ;)
BR, mD

I don't see the point in wasting time figuring out a solution to a problem that doesn't exist. If others enjoy that, then have at it, enjoy yourselves, sorry for the interruption :)

Considering my heritage is Irish and Italian, you would think that I would enjoy talking endlessly about nothing. ;)

I agree 100% the OP was addressing a problem that does not appear to exist.

It was the way that a lot of US dominated forums seem to like to 'end' discussions that 'go on forever' where as the UK ones seem to prefer to let these discussions either mature or die of their own accord.

I have no strong feelings either way :thumbup:

Wow, now there are two nations that know how to have a debate for sure.

Now all I need is a Toyota, with an automatic transmission (since my fictional Toyota would have had a manual so I would have just gone for the clutch in any case) :D

We could make a race out of it - shortest stopping distance wins. :thumbup:
