Why I'm identifying as agnostic...

Indeed. I'm a pedant for accurate usage and regularly pick people up on this exact point. However Aractus & I have had this conversation a couple of times and 'agnostic'-as-an-alternative-to-'atheist' is in common use (although it is a misuse). I wish it were otherwise but I like to think I know why he uses the definition that he does and I understand his motivation. I was just seeking confirmation.
Sum ergo sum
