>By the way, I personally had the experience of ridicule and piling on by gurus here (funny... same ones doing it here!!!) on an issue a couple of years ago. Turned out I was right then and I firmly believe that FabioL is 100% correct here.


IMO, a guru is a person who cares about sharing their knowledge only to get the satifaction of helping others. I see here once in a while some so called gurus using the "lazy programmer" argument because they have no other good arguments to defend their point of view. Someone doing this is not a guru to me.
