So you can be an agnostic atheist just as you can be an agnostic theist. Or a gnostic theist or gnostic atheist. I think most people here would identify with the first category.
I do realize that, and I stand by my original position, though I won't debate at length about it here. I'll save that for another time. It should be noted, however, that there there are plenty of people on both sides of the debate who are neither aware of that distinction, nor care to make it. The fact that you have brought it up serves to help educate those people, so kudos.
