Steven,
Show some respect for your elders, at least the ones that deserve it.

Hi Mike,
You present a reasonably satisfying summary in regards to an issue that seems to be causing a considerable ruckus in the chicken coup these days. I would imagine that one of the most difficult aspects pertaining to the on-going theoretical crises is that those who ! tow the party line are probably the least willing to entertain the notion that there might actually be something fundamentally wrong with the current paradigms. It would seem to many observers (particularly within this group) that their job has degenerated, more or less, to the task of killing the fox before he can get any more of their prized chickens.
I suspect there are too many foxes, however, and the racket is probably attracting more of the predators, particularly graduate students. The final outcome is inevitable.
To state that you've spent hours in the presence of both Put-H-off (Is that better, Terry?) and Mills but also acknowledge that it didn't really resolve most of your questions is indeed revealing of the complexity of the issues involved and the lengthy task at hand.
