>>Well, this doesn't sound too detailed, more like a general answer given to a general question posed somewhere. In light of the discussions in these two threads, it doesn't sound like the best answer is necessarily as clear cut as this. I am wondering how the MS Rushmore gurus would answer the issues posed in these two threads in a detailed manner.

>Hey, Bill -- I guess I'm wondering if they've even thought about it much recently. The old "conventional wisdom" was really quite valid until the use of NOFILTER was added, which has become an increasingly important feature...I think the old "rules" need a little re-write for this usage, and I agree, MS Rushmore gurus would be the best people to do this...

Hi Bruce ... which is why I'm prodding a little bit to those ( in this case Cristof ) who might have contacts at MS to get us some answers "straight from the horse's mouth" so to speak ... no pun intended :-).
