And yes Urban, I agree with you completly. It keeps us all informed and creates constant discussion.
They are not "arguably" punk, they are not punk at all. I'm not being elitist or a silly billy but it is the facts. Sure, some might call their early albums pop punk which would therefore make them a punk band but in reality they are not.
