It might just help us all, Peter Hume, if you didn't phrase all your questions along the lines of "when did you stop beating your wife?"

You do not have a monopoly on truth, justice and the Austrian way. If you decide to debate the issue calmly, and without shouting "Answer! Answer!" like some demented backbencher, you may find some opportunity to argue your case, instead of simply haranguing those who disagree with you.

Fat chance, I know. But I thought I'd give it a try.
