Thanks to all those that posted to this thread, yes even those that were less than generous to me shall we say.
If one thing has been made clear to me by this post it is this: That it is very difficult to have a discussion on the merits of the TOPIC. All too often and on so many posts from many authors a serious discussion devolves into the same kind of personal condemnation that happened here.
In so many threads on this forum a few, often the same few that appeared here, post to accuse the author of "Bashing" something or someone. All the time they are truly pummeling the author and often in very personal terms, in their own posts apparently unaware of the contradictions therein.
Too often criticism is mistaken for "Bashing". They are not the same. And while some criticism may rise to that level not all criticism is bashing by any means. But here they seem to be conflated far too often.
But overall despite the name calling and the severe criticism I took I found this experience enlightening and positive.
Thanks to all who posted
