[Mb-civic] Go easy on Blair

[Ian]

Cheeseburger:

Although I believe it is possible to give a person credit for the "good" 
things s/he does even if s/he is doing "bad" things as well, I must say 
that, otherwise, I find myself in complete agreement with all your comments 
here.  Extemely well-put.

Peace.
