Nice to see a return to civility in the thread, even if the opinions continue to differ. And therein lies the rub. We (some of us) seem to think that all threads that advance some kind of premise, MUST have a unanimous conclusion. How many times, including in this thread, do you see people arguing some point that is only remotely related (and sometimes not at all) to the thread's original premise. Dan01 was entirely correct in telling me to 'start my own thread' when my post veered away from the original topic. I think this thread proves that a thread can host an exchange of ideas, be entertaining, and still not be confrontational. But let's not go off the deep end......after all, it's still SynthZone .
