coberst--- here's a challenge for you. Instead of pontificating and jamming our computers with screeds of opinionated chatter, how about doing what eccles suggested and DISCUSS your points. At the moment you are not exchanging opinions, discussing or suggesting, you are lecturing. Which is fine in another context, but annoying on a site labelled a 'Forum'. Look it up.

Or,--- and here is an awful thought--- maybe you are TT disguised!
