I welcome skepticism, it is the cynicism that I reject.  The
difference between a skeptic and a cynic is that a skeptic will
ask questions and get to the facts before making judgment.  A
cynic just blows the theory off.

When I see a skeptic, I'll rejoice.  Marco seemed to be
skeptical, but so far, he's the only one.  I need to give him
time to follow through on his forceful, skeptical inquiry.
