Yes it is a cop out. But I believe I am wasting my time. There is method in my madness. I write what i think is correct, but I write one heck of a lot and when one writes too much - one gets a sense of what is a waste of time and what isn't. Opposition to what I say is normal - that does not bother me, but beyond a point, trying to convince those who dislike or oppose what I have to say is a mistake It is a complete waste of time. Those who disagree are welcome to disagree - but that will not stop me from saying what I need to say. It is a tactic of some people who disagree to say "Convince me". It is easier for me to say "Sorry I cannot convince you" and go on with what I need to do than stop and try to convince everyone who objects. That is a cop out, but cop outs are sometimes unavoidable. My responses to those who disagree do come - but they come at a time and place of my choosing. Unless I am convinced that I am wrong, in which case I just apologise. shiv
