This is practically the DEFINITION of "opinion." However, I define
"experience ourselves" as not just that which we witness ourselves
directly, but also what we hear from others, read, etc. Experience, our
own and that which we gain vicariously through others, is what we base all
of our opinions on. Through discussions like those that occur on this
list, our experience broadens.

I am most pleased (surprised, based on my "experience", but pleased) to
hear that the conditions I described do not exist elsewhere.

If you have to mic a saxophone, the rest of the band is too loud.
