Hello Robert, I was just trying to find out the advantage of this practice and not start a feud. Sorry if I offended you.
I would like to hear what people have to say about this practice. David Horne gave his opinion...what do other people think? And also: What is the advantage of this practice to the end user? Is there no advantage but just "house style?"
