Mohammed, I will explain what I meant in my posting :
a) My opening statement was refering to "what you hear on your TV these days" and the Geneva conventions. Never mind... b) Facts to support my views ? I was pointing you to papers available on the Web. I can not write 50 pages in the middle of a "bar" because maybe you have seen some of these already... I did say, if you have never seen any of these papers to tell me so and then I know what information you need to be given. That is why I asked you the question.. Go back and look.. c) My reference to "cars and books available about cars" was trying to explain to you that all these comparisions about Databases etc. are available. People just do not read them and prefer to stick to their current opinions. My apology for talking in hieroglyphics but in a bar, some people only need half a word to understand the full message.
