      The article covers all of what we answered quite well, so if you read the article why else would you be asking, and if you didn’t read the article, why are you participating in the comments?

          How is asking a question that was covered in the article promoting a healthy discussion?

          All it does it shows you didn’t read the article, and if you didn’t read the article how could you contribute to a discussion about an article….?

          And if you think me pointing out the obvious is being “hostile”… well that an interesting take.
