Pete,
Your response to my question was one of the best I have received overall.  Your
insight is realistic and excellent.  Thank you for taking the time to answer my
question.  I did use my Chessmaster 6000 and chesslab.com to play through some
of the lines of the Accelerated and white cannot get into the Yugoslav attack
without falling into a trap.  I set up the position and had the computer play
black starting with the 9th move.  It was great.  I bet the Accelerated Dragon
would be excellent for Blitz games.  Overall, you just have to enjoy the
positions you get into.  I don't like the French because of the bad bishop, and
I don't like playing a symmetrical type of position. The Sicilian is complex but
I love the tactical possibilities and rich positions. I might lose more often
with the Sicilian than say the Caro Kann but I love seeing creativity unfold at
the chess board.  Thanks again for your response.
