Would you please care to keep this crap to yourselves and stop cc'ing this list? We need flame wars here like we need a head crash... When I see people doing this I kinda hope their heads do crash... I've got nothing against people showing a bit of ego every now and then, but *THIS* is absurd, and completely negates any valid points said on either side. use direct email please, i don't care to see this crap.
