>One more thing about JimN's position versus yours. He is an experienced debater, one who takes a stance at one extreme and who knows that this bears a risk of making enemies. You are not really a debater, that is, not one of his kind. You seek compromise and recognition. You are an alpha person with beta qualities. Rational arguments are important for you, but friendliness is also on your list. I think people like you are of value in the world of programmers, which is dominated by beta persons. BTW, I think that the most active members here are beta persons with alpha qualites.
