Don't ever COMPLETELY agree with me -- that would worry me! :) Teaching by example isn't always effective but it does have the merit of not doing any damage. I don't know about you, but I tend to feel that if I don't defend my statements people will just believe the last thing that was said. I know, intellectually, that this isn't true -- but the impulse is pretty strong. Still, tone makes a great deal of difference. You and I would probably disagree about most things, but I'm not inclined to argue with you. That's the payoff of civility.
