Well, that's fresh, especially considering that I

* didn't argue about or even mention the NPOV policy;
* didn't accept or reject your proposal;
* don't care what you or anyone think about the NPOV policy;
* notice that several people have tried to point out to you that what
   you are advocating here hasn't really anything to do with NPOV.

All I said in my message was that the discussion is stupid.

I think we should have a Dumbest Discussion of the Week award. Or 
Deadest Horse of the Week. Or whatever.
