Yes, I read the whole thread before posting.
I've noticed in many online discussions over the years that people sometimes have a tendency to let their enthusiasm for a subject overwhelm their interest in the potential contributions of others. And sometimes, when one is highly experienced and skilled in one area, it can be hard to remember that others may also have skills and expertise in different areas, perhaps greater than one's own in those areas. And it can be especially difficult, when presented with new information, to acknowledge publicly that perhaps one's own opinions may need to change.
I personally find discussions more enjoyable when there is at least as much "listening" as "talking" by the various participants. This is, however, a personal preference. If the rest of the participants are enjoying the discussion, then by all means, carry on.
