Can we all take a deep breath in this thread and calm down. I don't have time to closely read and discuss with the poster every post. People may not have realised it but this thread has involved some fairly heavyweight moderating (you should have seen some of the posts I bounced ;-) ).
The subject area is very interesting (if not *exactly on topic due to it not being .NET related directly). But I'd like to see a little more respect for people's positions (which all have validity even though you may disagree with them) and in general just a bit more pausing and thinking before hitting that "send" button.
