> Dj, I would also like to apologize to you for mistakingly assuming that you were one in the same with the original thread, Alex Birkett, whom I have not seen post since. I think that many of my feelings about this subject stemmed primarily >from his original post.
No worries, Rick. I've been known to be re-active on occassion, so I understand and appreciate where you were coming from, even more so when I note that you mistakenly thought I was the original poster.
Like yourself and Scott I might query some of the rhetoric Alex used and some of the terminology, however I also believe there was some truth in some of his assertations as sweeping and potentially offensive as some of them may have been. The info. I've posted is an attempt to touch on some of his perspective, by citing folks whom I consider reasonable sources with reasonable and authorative explanations of their views.
And hopefully it is helpful to some here as it is helpful for me to re-view, re-consider it and read other people's perspectives.
Sante!
