"How did this thread gets so contentious." At times this thread is something like a daytime soap opera, with a full compliment of characters. It has: 1) Some protagonists 2) some antagonists 3)some plain agonists 4) a few who just don't give a hoot Periodically all members trade places.But there are no neutral members, they are banished to other threads (like COHU). There is nothing wrong in calling other posters names, or questioning their intellectual capacities, just so long as you mean it. Honesty counts. Imagine if all the recent thread posters here were sitting at a local tavern discussing the future of MTSM.We would have to have one rule prior to admittance: No sidearms allowed. This ain't no dead thread. Good luck to all and may the person with the most verbal ammunition have the last word. Jerome
