Jari, Ah, altriism is not dead. :-)
I have suggested in the documentation that adonis() usually is better, but it also suffers from similar problems as these alternatives. My analysis suggests that adonis() is more robust and reliable. However, not everybody agrees, and alternatives are provided for these standard methods. Since the alternatives are provided, you can study the issue independently.
I'm more than happy to study the issue independently as I look for the most appropriate method for my needs. I'll see if my reference library has sufficient documentation.
The existence of a method is not a sufficient reason to use that method.
Heh-heh-heh! It certainly is sufficient reason in the world of environmental regulation. :-) But, that's a contentious discussion best done in a micro-brew pub with some good ale.
