I will note that as Douglas's question carried a status transaction it gave you an excuse to reply with your own far more powerful status message, which in many cases leaves even important questions unanswered. (I myself prefer to ignore all "Where is your evidence!" demands when I think the question is mostly social rhetoric.)
Fortunately Jack ignored both transactions and gave a well thought out position on the topic in this instance. I was quite uncomfortable myself with the conclusion that Bonobo social behaviours were being used to support but I think Jack gave a far more complete response that I would have.
Your post also contains a pretty nice status transaction.
God I love recursion.
Two. I'd like to think they were both positive sum.
