Surely you'll unravel the mysteries of harry then. Mak, you crack me up. If that were my forum and you sent me that link you'd just get a new custo...

It's not about how you feel but how he feels. As long as his perception is that his opinion is better because he didn't follow what he understands as a herd of lemmings, whether or not he is correct or incorrect doesn't matter.
