Hi Mike,

> Perhaps in your circles these things were not discussed.

I didn't say these things weren't discussed, these things WERE discussed,
but by less people and the discussions had much less exposure (sorry ;-).
The Internet has allowed more people of varying levels of understanding and
expertise TO discuss these things, than has ever been possible.

Regards,

Austin
