@CONF, jcj - I know how you feel about the subject, I think we all know how you feel about the subject. But it doesn't make you right, and conversely it doesn't make people who think or feel differently about the subject right either.
At the end of the day we have to take the facts as we have them and make our own calls - personally I don't think there's any point in going round the houses with this particular argument again.
