Good point.  I wasn't really thinking of it in terms of "last word".  Actually,
I think calling it a "debate" gives it far too much credit at this point.  Steve
made some sweeping, controversial claims without backing them up, so I just made
the sweeping, opposing claims.  That's not a debate, that's just contradiction
(cue Monty Python: "yes it is." "No, it isn't!").  So I was just thinking of 
balance at the time, but you're right, the temporal requirement of conversation
does imply I get the last word.  Hmmm.... well, if someone else wants to get in
the last word, I can try to grit my teeth and shut up.  :-)

See ya,
