In the above, I was thinking of the "greater thread," now appearing on four different discussion groups, not necessarily only on FFL, and getting the responses mixed up. So what I wrote above is not correct. Even though there have, IMO, been attempts here to turn the thread into Just Another Excuse To Argue, only one person so far on FFL fits my description above. Quite a few more do on the other forums. So far I have thoroughly enjoyed the well-expressed replies provided here by Alex, MDixon, Bhairitu, new.morning and others. Hopefully there will be more.
