Erik,

I don't think this is intended to be a place for such debate.  We don't have
any structure on the list to manage it, although your call for a referee
would head us that way, which is not necessarily a bad thing... but it would
be a rather large leap from an almost-anything-goes discussion, which I
regard as brainstorming, to some kind of formal disputation forum, as DB
says.

It's something of a relief to see a bit of a flame war crop up without the
participation of the usual suspect, but hey, guys, can you both try to lower
the heat level?  I see name-calling and there's no call for that.  It's
dangerously close to being personal attacks.

And now, a completely personal request... could you each state your
positions in brief?  I'm lost.

Nick
