Yes, Josh.  Why don't you take the challenge that I offered to Guy
back when, you know where I asked him to choose one of the two
definitions of share and see if he could use it throughout the
argument.  You won't do this though.  You'll do just as Guy did and
simply refuse to answer the question.

It's really funny the degree that you professional pretenders rely on
the fact that few people actually think any of this through.
