>Can you PLEASE pick a 'best guess' strategy and then STICK WITH IT???? I'm afraid that I *was* trusting you and your assertions that we would one day, and sooner than later, see all those "common facilites", and now you write this! Your credibility with me just went right out the window.

Personally, I think it's very unwise to make any predictions about software, apart from whether it's going to be around next year or not (and even that's not a given!).

I use a tool because it's the best available for the job, not because I'm hoping it's going to get better.
