Yes. I think it is time to stop. I have illustrated the points and now 
everything I say is redundant. Thanks for the shoulder tap.

Yes. I have been persistant and blunt.

Check the archives of the last week if you care, or I can point it out offline 
or I can drop it. Done.

I knowingly took the vail of a "twit." I knew that I would not be preachin' to 
the choir and that my position would be met with resistance. I was just 
hoping that it would not be solely emotionally based. The assertions seemed 
to be proved by the words, actions and inactions of the opposing programmers. 

> That's all, carry on.
No. I think your position is valid. 
I will discontinue participating in this discussion - unless someone answers 
the questions I posed to Grant. Without support and new information there is 
nothing to discuss.

I am greatful this did not turn into a flame war and that it did not proceed 
as another political debate. Please know that my silence on the forthcoming 
flames that I am due is not conscent for what is said.

Thanks again Joe. Thanks ALE.

Drew
