Somebody should get on the stick and put up a survey.  I'd love to see 
what the silent and/or moderated-out majority feel about this sort of 
thing.

This has been one of the more stimulating and thought provoking

everybody for keeping it interesting and mostly above the belt.

Kudos Paul (and or substitute moderators) for keeping it from getting out 
of hand.
