Never mind.

No, you're right, the exchange had become asinine before you
responded. I can't really argue with that.

Well I don't agree with Art's statements that only personal experience is
worth anything in comparison to learned experience. We'd never really
know anything if that were true.

Agreed.

But I will admit I'm a fan of Art's and have just come to accept that he
has very strong opinions about things that aren't going to be easily changed,
and so be it. No point getting flustered about it.

I should learn from your approach, I suspect.

Consider yourself fortunate you are not French!

One flamewar at a time.... Bizarrely, I normally have some respect
his opinions even when I strongly disagree. It's his approach that
annoys, as I would suspect it would annoy him if other people regarded
his experiences with the same cavalier disregard he apparently views
other people's contributions to winning World War Two.
