quite possibly. strangers off the street sometimes demonstrate superior insight than credentialed 'experts'. not typically, of course, but sometimes. an essential point is how much work i want to do to assess the credibility of the comments from either source. folks who rely on their credentials for credibility tend to lose it with me. anyone who makes a point by clearly providing a solid basis for it tends to gain it. but i agree that clarity about the purpose of this thread would be helpful... d/ -- Dave Crocker Brandenburg InternetWorking bbiw.net
