I have to agree whole heartedly with Phil.  Oh no, not on any of his 
points or arguments, but on the comment above about the civility of this 
entire thread.  Being primarily a lurker on this site, I don't normally 
post anything, but having stumbled across the "fair competition act" a 
while back I felt an obligation to join in.  I actually expected the 
flames to begin at a couple of separate points in the dialog.  
Interesting, and very pleasant, that they didn't.

I really don't care for the name-calling or personal attacks, but 
sometimes the pettiness can be quite entertaining.  After all it's quite 
an erudite group.
