Open-mindedness *should* be a requirement in an industry where the practitioners are paid to *think*; the herd-like behaviour of my fellow practitioners (two main PC herds: Windows and *NOT* Windows) leads me to believe that, rather than a requirement, it is something of a rarity. A pity.
Though I understand the both the desire (need ?) for a degree of anonymity in these discussion forums ("fori", "fora"?? Did the Romans *have* a word for multiple instances of the singular "Forum"? My Latin is more than 30 years old, almost never used and never *that* good...) AND the need to state qualifications to buttress one's arguments, I don't see how you can reasonably have both.
I *still* have no real knowledge of you or your qualifications. That still leaves me with the actual arguments presented, so I need to evaluate them carefully.
