Eric, I'm not one for intricacies of language, but seems to me that
when someone uses IMO or JMO, they are often attempting to delineate
opinionated statements from factual statements for reader or listener clarification? Often posts or
conversations, etc. are comprised of an admixture of fact and
opinion, don't you think? I think this is not confined to just
the Net, but is perhaps highlighted via it since the Net provides
unprecedented communication twixt so many people. - AH
