Errrr.... as far as I know this is an unmoderated list. So we do not have
to agree with Mr. McG's point of view as a reason to stay in it. If Mr.
Dave doesn't agree with a poster's point of view then so be it. But it
doesn't mean that by law the other poster had to shut up.

Like a wise man once said: "Opinions are like assholes, eveyone has one"

Cheer up people, it is just computers we are talking about! Jeezzz :-)
