I saw this thread when it was first posted and now just came back to find that most of the conversation in here has nothing to do with the original thread. It's a shame because the original topic was interesting.

I don't say this to be rude only to point out that some of us here don't have the time or inclination to read through pages of comments that are not related to the original subject. Most will just lose interest and a stimulating topic will fade away.
