There's nothing wrong in taking an extreme position and articulating it 
amongst  the initiators of a movement, but I feel that you have to be 
moderate when it comes to spreading the message.

built on "Economics".

Everyone is entitled to his belief, I suppose. But I was talking about my 
experiences, not beliefs.

Sarcasm aside, I didn't intend my words as advice but as opinions based on 
experience. May I ask you, as I'd done so often in the past, to keep the 
discussion on an intellectual level, without stooping to innuendos?
