I agree with you Nicole, however, I believe this topic was discussed on the list not that long ago and became quite heated. This is a subject on which some people have very strong views. I believe this is not the most appropriate forum to discuss it, and before anyone gets hurt/offended again, feel that we should not post anymore on the subject. What do others think?
