There have been some thoughtful posts on this topic -- on both sides of the fence. But, when it's all said and done, can't lose sight of the fact that this forum is Chris/Doug's sandbox. As such, IMO, when we come to "play," we've implied a willingness to abide by their rules, as they interpret them.
