I don't have a problem with being proven wrong.It's when you can prove you are 100% right and someone will still say you are wrong but they can't prove it.

jac379: Not just to be 'proved wrong', but I find having someone put forward an argument, or information which changes my perspective an enjoyable experience.
But when you give argument after argument and the other person just do not get it, why to waste time on that.

S/he will not get it. Fiasco!

I have not read all the post and I will not but I bet you that those changes are not significant and the cost of it in time is just not worth to do it, at least for me.

My own personal changes over the years I've been contributing to the forums have been hugely significant and continue.

Yes, I dare to say that we all could learn from anyone but I am just not as patient as you are Jac and I am here not to change anyone’s point of view yet I can learn from anyone.
