I think the ironic part is that though we may be passionate about certain issues such as PBS, I think when (if?), we get a JCBA, after a couple of years no one will really remember what the discord was about. If we go with your PBS I might not like it, but after a few years would I REALLY care? Probably not. Same with you guys and our PBS.
