>Why? My opinion, as I previously stated, is based on a significant amount of experience. You and I debating the issue will resolve nothing. There are no facts that you can bring to bear that will change my opinion, and I have given already the basis for it, which, you don't accept. To continue won't change either of our views and simply be a waste of bandwidth.


George,

A wise man once asked me what Wisdom was. I thought and thought and thought (all of 10 seconds :) and said 'Experience.' He smiled briefly and said 'flexibility.'
I hope the above statement ("...no facts that you can bring to bear that will change my opinion") isn't set in concrete...
