WhiteHat,
This is the Delphi-Talk list not the Delphi list. And though we do
not allow completely OT subjects here like Delphi's own non-tech newsgroup,
all topics that have ANY relationship to programming with Delphi are allowed
here. And as one can easily see from the number of responses this thread
has prompted, it is a topic that many, many, Delphinians are truly worried
about...and thus need to discuss it!
