oh, come on blakkbyrd.
what's the confirmation that you were seeking?
that someone doesn't agree with you, or vice versa? self-satisfaction  
in being "right"? (which is what it sounds like if you were merely  
seeking confirmation of something you already believed)
why the projection (onto a list) of such authority?
what is your critique exactly? and what is there to "hide" as you put  
it? and who is the "us" you speak of that needs to be shown "results"?
let's be clear in the accusations we make (and how we make them), at  
least if we're interested in having a discussion. if not, then i  
guess it doesn't matter.
perhaps it doesn't, since you have evaded the challenges to your  
questions far more than anyone has evaded your demands, which i think  
people have generously engaged.
best,
