To which I want to contribute:

Andrew, this kind of difference of opinion and discussion is EXACTLY why I
DO subscribe.
I want to hear what EVERYONE has to say - even the ones I don't agree with.
EVEN YOU.

And, uh, let's not even slam the "slammers", huh?

Most of the posts I've read on this thread (hell, on any thread on this
list) have:
Opened my eyes to other perspectives
Clarified my OWN ideas
Given me a broader scope
Shown me a new approach

Lighten up. It's just a conversation.
