I see your point. I also like the "heretical" analogy. It does help put things into perspective. I mean, I have heard the terms like "this is a religious debate" before - but defining our views as heretical to the prevailing accepted "religion" makes a whole lot of sense. It's like Galileo's views were heretical to the prevailing religion at the time. I can dig it. -- - Chad Smith http://www.gimpshop.net/ Because everyone loves free software!
