I would have to agree with you Graham. I guess if we stuck a bunch of people
in a room and said they have to talk about one specific thing, they WILL
eventually start talking about other stuff. Humans are the great debaters!
It's inevitable that we'll argue -- either about which is better, PIC or
Scenix -- or religion, politics, etc. And there's LOTS to be learned from OT
posts.


I'm sure my opinion won't add much to this topic (boy, low self-esteem huh!?)
but it's worth a try.
