This has been my belief, too; without taking a poll, though, or
hearing everyone's explicit declarations, I'm not qualified to speak
for everyone else (or even claim to speak for most of them - such
authoritarian "I speak for many others" assertions are weak but, when
attempted (much less accepted) set a dangerous precedent), so I try
to be reasonable and chide from my own position.
