To let it go (again) unchallenged is to concede the point, which is too
important to let go.

I guess I'll just have to disagree there. This is a piloting newsgroup,
this kind of stuff comes up all the time in spite of being way off topic,
and it never goes anywhere productive.

I let all sorts of off-topic points go unchallenged, some of them just as
important as the question of caring for the environment. I'm not conceding
the point. This just isn't the place to have the discussion (even assuming
there's a point to the discussion and, IMHO, most of these topics that come
up here, you are never going to make headway with the other person...the
biases are so ingrained, no amount of debate is going to change anyone's
mind).

But more power to you. If you find it useful, please feel free.
