Dear all
As part of the silent audience, I'd like to see a continuation of the
scientific argument: I have found the point/counterpoint style of
discussion, and the numerical trials, both informative and
entertaining. If the personal issues can be kept out of the
discussion, I have the impression there is a chance of resolving
something useful here.
I think that the volume of traffic is modest compared to many lists.
Let the debate continue!
