The original question wasn't unreasonable, even though a difficult one to answer without being very subjective. Unfortunately, the subjectivity turned some subthreads into personal attacks and generated messages with a malicious content. That can happen in any thread, so it's not an argument for deleting the original posting. I think that most threads are independent of animosity between certain individuals. If they want to argue, they'll argue, no matter the original subject of the thread, given the chance. Best wishes... Mogens
