Good Point...

And may I add... if someone does have a particular affection for 
a platform, etc... tell us why this is so.  We don't want to hear
"the ____ interface is shit" or "____ is for idiots... that's why
idoits use them" (I'm paraphrasing here since I cannot accurately 
remember the actual elegant prose that was originally used.)

A resounding YES.  There is too much to filter thru on this group if
