Both sides basically guess and no-one _knows_. You can say 10 additional years
that this and that is stronger than something else. The only fact is, that we
don't know. The rest (on _both_ sides) are guesses. (some more educated than
others, but still guesses)

I don't know, why we simply can't forget this subject, knowing that we don't
know for sure and keep our guesses to ourselves. Or at least respect that there
are people who have a different guess but are not necessarily stupid because of
that. (the posts in the threads in CCC related to DB often imply this)

If someone claims that DB is better than DJ/DF, it's up to this person to proof
it. If someone claims the opposite, it's also _their_ turn to proof anything.
Claiming something and then tell the other to "proof me I'm wrong!" is not very
scientific and just leads to name-calling and flame-wars.

_I_ don't claim anything in this respect. But if _you_ claim that DF/DJ is
better than DB, then it's _your_ job to bring back DB to life to _prove your
claim_.

Sargon

FYI: I won't reply in this thread anymore, because I'm off to visit my
girl-friend in the US. Not because I wouldn't want to answer. ;) Happy
Christmas! =)
