| Hey. Putting old conflicts aside, and noting that I know I've been a pompous ass toward you (also noting I think you've been the same to me), I'd be very interested in constructively discussing PRT with an opponent. You're obviously a very adement opponent, and I'd like to hear what you think in a more calm context than a wikipedia talk page. Perhaps you'll convince me of something.
