See, that's the true benefit of a debate even if it doesn't change the ultimate position of any direct participant. Unfortunately, few seem to be able to grasp the concept, and seem to think there's no benefit if there's not a winner or a loser. For me (and it appears for you as well), a greater understanding of and respect for another's position, regardless of whether one agrees or not, is an end in itself. Thanks for making that point, and yes, the same goes for me. =8^) -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
