Absolutely! My whole email is/was opinion.
:^)
Being opinionated doesn't preclude one from being openminded, however, most poeple assume that opinionated people aren't open minded. I like to think of them as experienced, with something to offer. The mere facts that they are willing to listen, and allow me to have my own opinion (agree to disagree), and can discuss the topic without angst, defensiveness, or getting into a power struggle, makes them open minded.
No argument. I don't believe that you have been denied you opinion. I don't believe that you would have felt slighted, had they tried.
When a discussion about a topic is relegated to, "Well, just do it because it is how it has been done in the past, and how we want it done now", it looses the chance for growth / understanding.
No, Philipp presented substantiated *reasons*. Again, the list is open, but the administration, which also bears the cost, is not, so standards are to be accepted. Noting your disagreement, your expected compliance will most certainly be appreciated. -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2
