ALL: I couldn't agree more fully with John Kelly's
statement below.  Some of the posts on this subject
such as the one below from Steve Kale have terribly
degenerated into personal attacks and insults, and i
join John in decrying them.  Opinions obviously vary,
but those who wish in indulge in this kind of
infintile ranting should keep it to themselves and not
inflict it upon the rest (dare i say - the vast
majority) of us.   Thank you all for your helpful,
thoughtful comments and intellegent questions...
