I don't need to. In those cases where it happens, I'll point out I told you
so. In those cases where it doesn't, my answer is "just wait..." -- a lot
like the people who've been saying Apple is dead since, oh, 1984. They keep
saying it, and if they ever happen to be right, they'll dislocate a shoulder
patting themselves on the back...

We sure do. And it's not MY list -- so I can comment, but I can't demand. I
can', however, make my decisions based on what decision they make. And
that's all I'm doing -- suggest and encourage. But you're correct, there are
many reasons and approaches and they have to be traded off for the
situation. (I'm tempted to make a comment about some of those Subjects We No
Longer Talk About, but I won't, since we don't want to go there. But this
idea about tradeoffs ought to be remembered if they ever come up again. But
it won't... Grin)

Yes, yes, I've finally finished my home page. Lucky you.
Q: Did God really create the world in seven days?
A: He did it in six days and nights while living on cola and candy
bars. On the seventh day he went home and found out his girlfriend
had left him.
