Hey, that's not fair! Anybody on the list has every right to disagree with
anybody else. And because _you_ may think it's a sound idea, it doesn't
mean it necessary _is_ a sound idea.

Utter bullocks. Don't blame the "status quo" and "turf boundaries" if
somebody disagrees (ie: me). That's a cop-out. Nobody is saying "YOU CAN'T
DO THAT! YOU'LL DESTROY US ALL WITH THAT CONCEPT!". Go ahead. Pursue your
dream, but to expect it to be universally embraced is quite fantastic. I'm
sure Billy Gates of M$ thinks the world of his vision, and it hasn't
stopped him in the face of his detractors, has it?
Jeez, you make it sound like: "Everybody should agree with my concept,
otherwise it is proof that there is a conspiracy against new ideas not
endorsed by the 'Old Ones'".
Perhaps some of us just don't think it's practical, that's all....
Regards (sincerely),
