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.
