Lini:
So many people I talk to come from a place that thinks the word argue is negative. These are the first four definitions in my dictionary: "1. to put forth reasons for or against; debate. 2. To prove or attempt to prove by reasoning; maintain 3. To give evidence of, indicate; 4. To persuade or influence, as by presenting reasons." The last one is "to quarrel." Writers are taught to identify the argument in a piece of writing, so I come from that place.
In any case, I do agree with you that the boards are a pain in the butt to keep track of, and we spend far too much time here now. I must stop and smell the roses and see my daughter and taste a nectarine. I'm tired of the computer. I'm cooked.
Peace. (Or peach, as the case may be today.)
