There's more than one forum on the Net for 'open debate' in any area you
might imagine.
I've been called to task here myself for some posts, but I'm nonetheless
grateful that 'one individual' keeps us on subject. I don't sit watching the
day's e-mail download for the joy of reading 'open debate' once I sort
through it. I (and I suspect most of us) joined this list to get focussed
information on a particular professional subject, not to participate in any
form of debate.
