Actually I'm surprised that michael's comment has gotten so much response-
somebody that, with one sweeping inflammatory statement, tries to show the
readers of the net to be his personal ego footmat has no place in my mind in 
even bringing up the concept of intelligent debate. One small suggestion to
michael;  If you feel that you have and are being inordinately stepped on,
please at least have the maturity to deal with it on an individual-to-individual
level, instead of further spreading the asinine "us vs. them" attitude that
has motivated you to become a very active part of the problem instead of the
solution.
(Couldn't we end this discussion right now?) (probably not.)
