But as is not unusual in such cases, there are four types of information:
1. Headless chicken syndrome - 'What shall we DO, what SHALL we do?' - a well-known distributor seems to have created some of that. 2. Pollyanna - 'it's easy; don't bother about it'. 3. Doom and gloom - 'disastrous unreliability; the end of the industry as we know it'. 4. Dispassionate, reliable, complete information. What we need now is a reliable detector for the four different types. Lead-free, of course. (;-) -- OOO - Own Opinions Only.
