I find more intelligent people here than I get to deal with in day to day life. Even if I do not agree with every point of view I read here, most of them are at least eloquently stated and relatively well supported. My experiences on other special interest message boards is that most participants are idiots and they are a waste of my time. "Pearls before swine" comes to mind. I don't get that impression here. It would seem P-car ownership, or maybe the means to such, is an effective filter that keeps most of the rif-raf out. I feel like I can engage in meaningful, thought provoking discussions with this crowd. Even if we do enjoy pushing each others buttons from time to time. Or more like all of the time; but at least they are intelligent, well thought out jabs. It's fun.
