In truth (not an opinion), I have taken this saying as one of those found objects that we all come across at times and consider it to be oddly profound, so decided to create the "signature" in order to remind myself as I was writing on this list that I am dealing with some very smart and tough-minded people; that (my) opinion can indeed blinker me to the truth and that I had better watch my step: I don't have to have an opinion about everything. Or anything for that matter. It is is, actually, a difficult little saying to get one's brain around, so it can be disturbing if one doesn't wish to investigate self-reflexive conundrums (conundra?). Looking at it closely, I don't think there is any "attitude" expressed. It makes my mind wobble (more than it usually does) and I like that. I've revised the format so that it perhaps won't be as obtrusive.</SPAN></DIV> <DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 9px; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"><SPAN class=Apple-style-span style="FONT-SIZE: 9px; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"></SPAN> </DIV> <DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 9px; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"><SPAN class=Apple-style-span style="FONT-SIZE: 9px; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Paul     </SPAN></DIV> <DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 9px; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"><SPAN class=Apple-style-span style="FONT-SIZE: 9px; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"></SPAN> </DIV> <DIV> <DIV><STRONG>"If you want to know the truth, stop having opinions" (Chinese fortune cookie)</STRONG></DIV></DIV> <DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 9px; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"><SPAN class=Apple-style-span style="FONT-SIZE: 9px; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"></SPAN> </DIV> <DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 9px; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"><SPAN class=Apple-style-span style="FONT-SIZE: 9px; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"></SPAN> </DIV> <DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 9px; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"><SPAN class=Apple-style-span style="FONT-SIZE: 9px; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">In a message dated 02/21/07 01:32:46 Central Standard Time, <A title=mailto:ricbrek@broadpark.no href="mailto:ricbrek@broadpark.no" alt="mailto:ricbrek@broadpark.no">ricbrek@broadpark.no</A> writes:</SPAN></DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; FONT-SIZE: 9px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: blue 2px solid; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"> <DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 9px; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"><SPAN class=Apple-style-span style="FONT-SIZE: 9px; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">I've read several objections to Pauls little logo thingy...  and </SPAN><BR style="FONT-SIZE: 9px; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"><SPAN class=Apple-style-span style="FONT-SIZE: 9px; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">personally I disagree entirely.  The actual meaning the words have are </SPAN><BR style="FONT-SIZE: 9px; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"><SPAN class=Apple-style-span style="FONT-SIZE: 9px; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">something I agree with to begin with, and something just about everyone </SPAN><BR style="FONT-SIZE: 9px; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"><SPAN class=Apple-style-span style="FONT-SIZE: 9px; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">on the face of the planet would benefit from remembering from time to time. </SPAN><BR style="FONT-SIZE: 9px; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"><BR style="FONT-SIZE: 9px; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"><SPAN class=Apple-style-span style="FONT-SIZE: 9px; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Lots of folks on this list attach something or another as part of their </SPAN><BR style="FONT-SIZE: 9px; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"><SPAN class=Apple-style-span style="FONT-SIZE: 9px; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">signature.  Dean signs his post with "blessings"... which I suppose </SPAN><BR style="FONT-SIZE: 9px; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"><SPAN class=Apple-style-span style="FONT-SIZE: 9px; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">would bother some non religious types.  Conrad has his little daily </SPAN><BR style="FONT-SIZE: 9px; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"><SPAN class=Apple-style-span style="FONT-SIZE: 9px; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">dailys.... and others. </SPAN><BR style="FONT-SIZE: 9px; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"><BR style="FONT-SIZE: 9px; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"><SPAN class=Apple-style-span style="FONT-SIZE: 9px; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Perhaps the capital letters here bother some since its the same all the </SPAN><BR style="FONT-SIZE: 9px; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"><SPAN class=Apple-style-span style="FONT-SIZE: 9px; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">time.  In anycase.... big deal.  As with all other such signatures...  I </SP AN><BR style="FONT-SIZE: 9px; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"><SPAN class=Apple-style-span style="FONT-SIZE: 9px; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">see them a few times, understand the fellow/gal has something (usually </SPAN><BR style="FONT-SIZE: 9px; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"><SPAN class=Apple-style-span style="FONT-SIZE: 9px; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">good in meaning) on their mind and let it be.  Jumping to the conclusion </SPAN><BR style="FONT-SIZE: 9px; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"><SPAN class=Apple-style-span style="FONT-SIZE: 9px; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">that the person has an attitude problem seems to me in anycase..... </SPAN><BR style="FONT-SIZE: 9px; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"><SPAN class=Apple-style-span style="FONT-SIZE: 9px; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">presumptuous at b!
