I am an avid reader of this Bboard and I have noticed (recently especially...) that we tend to "Flog the dead horse" a lot. Some of these arguments should just be put to rest, neither side of the issue will ever yield and the discussions eventually degenerate into arguments about petty little points that really get off the original issue. Granted, some of the issues and topics dealt with here require a great deal of discussion and therefore need to have some of the finer points quibbled over. But there is a point when further discussion is pointless and boring. I still enjoy reading this Bboard and the information and ideas are extremely interesting, but when a person has to spend five hours at a workstation to catch up on a weeks worth of messages, and learn nothing new in the process, things are getting a bit out of hand.
