Ian and Phil, In light of your discussion, I wanted to comment on how I find this thread in the short time I have been posting. I have found it be one of the most friendly, intelligent, receptive and supportive in SI. I think those qualities truly reflect the posters on the thread. Having said that I am unclear how your disagreement was provoked and only to say that I found Ian's post on Friday unusually harsh (for him) and Phil's response unusually strong (for him). I suspect Ian you had something else going on that caused your remarks to be so forceful and Phil it sounds like Ian managed to push some button within you. That does not change the fact that all your posts are intelligent, providing important (albeit different) information and incites re mtsn, and that you usually treat each with the highest respect. And as the new poster, I am very appreciative of these posts and the quality of your interaction. Finally I think disagreement is healthy even when there is no resolution. And it makes for a more lively thread. Just some comments on your exchange....even though you didn't ask. ted
