    @HR - now here is a scary thought - consider that 99% of the masses are also into "alternative logic" I clearly remember attending a meeting with a couple of union shop stewards many years ago when I was working at De Beers and what struck me is that the act of hearing, listening, understanding and then having a rational discussion was totally lost on them. No matter what anybody said it would be bent to suit their perception of what they thought they were hearing. I can only imagine such people playing tennis, no matter where you serve the ball they would simply stand there dumbfounded and throw rocks back at you. Kinda difficult to play tennis with people who either refuse to, or are unable to engage the ball that is in play.

      lol Adrian yes that is VERY scary. I would imagine absolutely NOTHING would get done. They would spend all their time arguing/negotiating.

      Alternative logic only works up to a point. You then have to be able to reason, discuss and agree. You cannot carry on and on and on and on and on... It is like killing a horse and then spending the next few days beating the thing with a pole to make sure it is dead and to try to teach it a lesson that you think you have WON.

        Please bear in mind the flip side is also true - we don't have a full grasp of tec0's experience in these things either (other than a sense that they've been less than optimal).

        The only way we get to "everyone's a winner" is when we play the ball and not the man. Let everyone learn and adjust in their own time and in their own space.

            @Dave A – I think you hired tec0 to stir the pot, or somebody is on the pot, actually missing the pot altogether and pooing a little bit on the forum floor.

                    Guys we need Teco here he has a different slant on things which makes me look twice at his replies. It would get boring if we all thought the same way.

                        Dear gentle people,
                        I would like to impress upon you that I am a team player! Since there is no face to face communication with online communities, it’s possible that I may come across as arrogant!
                        Please overlook this! I genuinely only want to help and clarify issues that are bound to affect someone somewhere.

                            You know what Vanash I personally have never seen you as arrogant, quite the opposite, I think you very polite and diplomatic. When you clarify matters you do so in a very technical and analytical manner I can see you a lawyer
                            I am a little bit puzzled over post, you did not have to do it, but it shows you a good guy
                            If you sound arrogant on TFSA given the “no face to face” factor then I’m a brut and tyrant of biblical proportions, snarling and snorting.
