I'm not so sure it doesn't belong here,  many of these folks are the
people who supply programs to c.b.i.p., it seems to me that a
discussion which will enhance the quality of the software submitted to
that group is appropriate.  In the long run I, as a consumer of some
of this software, will benefit.  I am not a programmer, but I have
enjoyed following this discussion (I could alway add it to my kill
file).  It isn't often, that you get a get a group of people
discussing an issue that they can actually have a major impact on,
discussing it (for the most part :-)) rationally and with civility. 
THANKS!
