Interestingly, (or maybe not), I wrote up an original reply where I
was going to go on and explain exactly why I didn't like it; but - as
I wrote in the followup - nobody wants to read that. It's been said
before by others (millions of times, it seems) and I wouldn't be
saying anything I hadn't directly said before.  I also see little
point in arguing (specifically on this list) because typically most
arguments don't tend to be what I would call 'productive' anymore,
i.e. some "discussion partners" no longer follow the rules
respectfully :) (Certainly I'm not referring to James here).

Nevertheless, Ken, I probably won't keep my (informed) opinions to my
self, and nor should anyone else, in my opinion. It's a good way to
learn and explore topics.
