After re-reading my own post, perhaps I was a bit harsh.... or didn't explain myself fully. I judge the merit of a lot of threads by the amount of "views" they generate. No, I'm not talking about artificial hits that some folks build up their own posts by clicking on, and on, and on, ... but by a general cross-section count of ALL posters.

Obviously there is/was much interest in this thread if one were to look at the number of "hits" many of these individual posts have gotten. No matter what position one has taken in this subject, it must have been interesting reading for those who didn't post a response.... and maybe even enlightening. No, I don't think that any positions have been changed by the main pricipals in this discussion, but neither do arguments over many threads related soley to chips.

Have a nice weekend. I'm off to A.C.
