How do you respond to I think Pierce's comment in the high end
newsgroup, that it will be just a pis-ing contest with no real
relevance to anything.

For people to be discussing the outcome of this debate 10 weeks before
it is due to take place seems at best premature and at worst dumb, in
my opinion. But I do note that the majority of people posting to
r.a.h-e seem to feel Arny Krueger is being set up for a fall,
having to debate me in what they feel to be an unsuitable venue
in front of an unsuitable audience.

I'd like to reassure Mr. Krueger and his supporters on r.a.h-e that
the debate will be fair. And as it will be available as a live webcast,
as a subsequently streamed audio file, or both, everyone will be able
to judge for themselves.
