See, that's the difference.  If you were to make that statement, I would
automatically assume that is your opinion without the need for
clarification.  I think this is straying a bit from the original poster's
point.  Why do people feel the need to state that "it is my personal
opinion" instead of just "it is my opinion?"  "My Personal" seems a bit
redundant, since stating ownership (i.e. "my") automatically qualifies the
opinion as your "personal."
