I find it difficult to accept your views as an analysis since we don't really know how many users fall into any catagories or how many catagories they will fall into over time. So aside from your catagories all we are left with on this subject are personal views, opinions, and rhetoric. Enough! Participants are only listening to others' arguments long enough to state their own views. Enough wasted bandwidth! I'm sick of it (and so are many others though, alas, I'm not sure how many either). Participants are welcome to exchange their views via email. joe piazza
