while the di[s]cussion has been pointed, the
participants
should be praised for patiently explaining these issues. I
don't know about other people, but I've found the exchange enlightening
and interesting, and would like to thank Mssrs Lunde and Alvik for
taking their valuable time to present differing viewpoints.
Darn! :-) What fun would flame wars be if there were many people around
with such calm and reflected attitudes! Come to think of it, there probably
wouldn't ever *be* any flame wars if most people shared Stirling's
attitude! :-)
No need to thank us for taking part in an argument! That's what we like most!
I apologize to the Larses if in the heat of the battle some words were chosen
unwisely. My primary goal was to explain my thoughts. (Provocation was only
a secondary goal. ;-) By the looks of it, I think I may have
succeeded a little.
Actually, I, too, have found the exchange rewarding! My thanks to all
who have shared their views on my idea!
Ulf Lunde
